Today with David McCullagh · Roles Recast – TV & Movie stars who have been replaced · 11 May 2026 podcast

The people who were into the books and the video games were very happy with this adaptation, found it very faithful, were very into Cavill's performances.

But the show was delayed due to COVID and then the 2023 Hollywood strikes.

Also reports that he'd left over creative differences with the team in terms of where Gerald, the character, was going.

Also rumours at the time that he would be returning as the Man of Steel Superman.

But sure, James Gunn then decided to reboot the whole DC franchise.

So he was essentially, I think, kind of out of a job there if it was ever on the table.

But shouldn't pan out.

So he's now busy.

He's off doing the Highlander reboot.

So don't worry about Henry Cavill.

He's booked and busy.

Hemsworth's performance has, depending on who you ask, kind of still remains divisive among the Witcher fans because I just think, I don't know, they'd really nailed it in terms of

look and fit with Cavill and it's very difficult to come in when you're already two seasons into a show you know like it's very very tricky yeah but they couldn't kill him off no they couldn't kill him because he's the lead character you know like it's what you do then it's tough yeah there's a really interesting one Lisa Kudrow who people will know from Friends obviously but she was nearly in another beloved sitcom

She was nearly Roz in Frasier, which I never knew.

This shocked me, researching this.

Yeah, so Lisa Kudrow nearly got the role of Roz and ultimately went to Perry Galpin.

She had been shooting for, I think she'd been like rehearsing or whatever.

There was an early run through, so they were working on it for three days.

Director James Burrows then eventually told Kudrow, you know, this isn't working.

And she was fired.
