Henry Cavill’s name has been all over the Internet this week after it was reported that he was to make a surprise appearance at the San Diego Comic-Con to make some update about DC and Superman but unfortunately the fate didn’t turn out to be as good for the fans as they have thought and Cavill was nowhere to be seen at the event. Now according to some sources, Henry Cavill has tested positive for COVID as a result of which the filming of the Netflix hit The Witcher’s season 3 has been halted.
Is COVID the reason behind Henry Cavill’s absence from SDCC?
According to the reports, Witcher 3 was going to enter its final stages of filming. It was to shoot one of the most ambitious sequences of the series, “the Thanedd coup” but unfortunately, there wasn’t any filming. Soon after it was confirmed by some trusted sources that The Man of Steel actor has contracted the Corona Virus which led to a halt in the filming.

It was rumored that Henry Cavill will make an appearance in the SDCC to either announce his cameo in the upcoming Black Adam starring Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson or to discuss any upcoming Man of Steel movie but neither of that happened and the fans were left in dismay and disappointment.
Now it is believed that he was slated to appear but didn’t as a result of his ill health but it is also to be remembered that for a man like Henry Cavill with such fitness and health to be affected much by COVID so it can be expected that he will soon recover and the filming will resume soon.

What is known about The Witcher Season 3 yet?
Season 3 of the Netflix series will be based on the Time of Contempt which is the second book in Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher novel series as confirmed by the showrunner Lauren Hissrich. Netflix describes the plot summary of Witcher Season 3 as:
“As monarchs, mages, and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri of Cintra into hiding, determined to protect his newly reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it. Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where she hopes to discover more about the girl’s untapped powers; instead, they discover they’ve landed in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic, and treachery. They must fight back, put everything on the line – or risk losing each other forever.”

It can be already perceived that the upcoming season will answer several questions left from the past seasons as well as follow the Geralt of Rivia on his journey just after when we left him off at the end of the second season but it is also a matter of concern that the show will take a considerable time to make its way to the streaming platform so we have to wait a bit longer for season 3 to premiere.
All the seasons of The Witcher can be exclusively streamed on Netflix
