&#8220;I don&#8217;t necessarily consider that toxic&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; Back When Henry Cavill Proved Why He Understands Fans in the Best Way Possible

Charles Brandon in The Tudors, Superman in the DC films, Geralt of Rivia in The
Witcher, and Sherlock Holmes in Enola Holmes, are the iconic roles that Henry
Cavill [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] has portrayed. However, very
recently, the actor announced he would not reprise the character of Superman.
And he also passed on his medallion and swords to Liam Hemsworth as Geralt.
While fans are still trying to process the news of the actor leaving the show,
remember when he defended the fandom?

Adapting from a book or game is certainly a difficult job. Especially when the
characters are larger-than-life, the translators must be careful. Of course,
they can not make everyone happy. But certainly, they can follow the source
material as closely as possible. This makes fans stick to the show or film and
love the work of art. Well, when The Witcher
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/] actor faced the question of fandom
reacting against the characters he portrayed, this is how he defended them and
justified their feelings.

WHEN HENRY CAVILL CALLED THE FANDOM PASSIONATE

Whenever anyone talks about Henry Cavill, the first thing that pops into
anyone’s mind is Superman and then Geralt of Rivia.

The British actor has gained more popularity by portraying these two iconic
characters. A few years ago, the 39-year-old actor appeared in an interview with
Jake Hamilton, where he talked about these characters, The Witcher,
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-originals-back-to-books-the-witchers-lauren-hissrich-delivers-a-big-promise-for-henry-cavill-final-season-on-the-show/]
and toxic fans. Jake asked Cavill if he felt like whenever they would make any
film, especially a superhero film, a group of fans would be unhappy with the
work. Does this toxic fandom bother him?



In response to this question, Cavill said, “I don’t necessarily consider that
toxic. I just consider that passionate.” While defending fans,

he also agreed that people would be upset. Because whenever we talk about books
or games, it would never be the exact person they had in their head. Therefore,
they have the right to have their own opinions.

But he surely had to come to terms with the ways of fans over the years, as he
confessed in the video. And this is how Geralt of Rivia perceives fans and their
ideas.
