The Picard ManeuverI wish there were more like him in the industry
Maven (famous)Well… He did more than that…
He also would join up with one of the male writers (who eventually got fired for sexual harassment stuff) specifically to team up against the female writers.
He was also extremely disrespectful of all of the female members of the crew. It got so bad he was fired from the Witcher AND the DCU movies.
Like yes… He cared a lot about the source material and so he fought for it… But the only people he fought were women and the only people he became friends with were sexually harassing women.
illiI’ve seen some accusations, which other (also female) members of cast/crew pretty much disprove. So I will echo others - source?
I’d seen this all multiple places before but doing a quick search here is a source on the most recent round of Netflix and superman stuff
Personally I think a lot of this is overblown. Specifically the not wanting shirtless scenes and stuff is a personal thing that’s up to the comfort of the actor. The bits I don’t like are harassing women and his previous comments about the MeToo movement which make me far more likely to believe the current accusations against him.
'An actor that nobody wants to work with anymore': Netflix Leak Branding Henry Cavill a 'Misogynist Toxic Gamer' Reportedly Made the Superman Actor Kryptonite to Big Studios
A source revealed that Henry Cavill was fired from the Witcher due to his toxic behavior with women. He would overwrite the showrunners decision.
Ah, yes. The “toxic gamer” accusations. Yeah. To me that reads like he was not happy with how they handled source material and did his best to fight it (which yeah, not his place to do that, but as someone who also loves Witcher I can relate). And then they tried to spin it as being mysoginyst (they tried so hard to spin itin any way so that he ends up looking bad back then). Also source of the articlebeing Reddit doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence.
After these accusations I remember other articles with fellow female cast members at the least saying things about hin as a person that are in complete oposition to the accusations.
Not saying he is a saint, I don’t idolize him. But it’s hard for me to believe those accusations.
Most things I saw of him being a great cast member were earlier in his career and this seems to be a very recent thing to happen. I don’t think he’s always been bad in any respect but people do change overtime and America has been increasingly radicalized recently. I’m not surprised that this has happened and it could happen to anyone.
I’m pretty sure the cast members reactions I remember were from Witcher.
Also, if you are a fan of the source material and writers are not (and some actively mock it, allegedly) - I can imagine you being a dick to them - no matter their gender
