He has other shit going on, yes, but Cavill left the show because the writers weren't sticking to the source material.
The best part about this, and the one I don't see echoed enough, is that Cavill is a nerd. And I mean that in the best way. He ignored the call casting him as Superman because he was in a WoW raid.
He is invested in the Witcher series because it means something to him. He's played the games, read the novels, and he was constantly pushing back on the writers and producers for straying. "Geralt wouldn't do that, or Yennefer wouldn't say that..." Etc. I love that he was passionate enough about it to stick to what he knew was correct.
Looking forward to his live action 40k project
Didn't the games also do their own thing though?
Story wise, they retell some things and tell a brand new story from the books for the most part. But still very closely follow the book's characters, relationships and settings.
The show feels like it isn't even on the same universe. And the characters are aliens cosplaying as the book characters but who never actually read the source material and don't understand what the story is about.
Not just that. They were completely changing characters personality and development just to tell their own shitty stories.
It was a lot more than that. He said from the beginning he was onboard for like 7 seasons if they stuck to the source material. Season 1 they immediately started fucking with main characters. The showrunners made it clear they wanted to make their own story, but had to use The Witcher IP.
The best scenes in the first season were ones that Cavill insisted were changed and that he worked on specifically to stay truer to the source material and his character.
