The Witcher fans still aren't sure about the Netflix show's new Geralt thanks to one line in the season 4 trailer: "He doesn't have a squad like Call of Duty"

Less than a month out from its premiere, The Witcher season 4 trailer has finally dropped – and it teases Geralt and Yennefer's epic quest to save Ciri and take down Vilgefortz. One line in the new promo, however, has got longtime fans of the fantasy franchise all "out of sorts", and it's spoken by the White Wolf himself...

In the clip, there's a brief moment where Geralt (Liam Hemsworth, taking over from Henry Cavill) removes the sword from his back and shouts, "Let's fucking move!" to his pals. Said moment hasn't gone down well with many viewers, them claiming that it's completely out of character and doesn't fit in with Geralt's personality in both the video games and Andrzej Sapkowski's books.

"Errr, I just watched the new trailer for The Witcher season 4 and there [are] two things that put me off… I've played the games, I've read the books. At what point do they form an army?" queried one Twitter user. "Unless I've missed something. And Geralt shouting "Lets Fucking Move" completely took me out of it."

"Liam Hemsworth, will all due respect…Geralt of Rivia no dey shout "Let's fucking move," tweeted another, as a third wrote: "Let's fucking move????? no brooding, no guttural responses, no grunts, no menacing glare, ahh this isn't my Geralt."

I don’t think I’ll be able to watch it unfortunately (not just because of Cavill but also as a book reader) what really cemented it for me was when he said ”let’s fucking move” like Geralt would never say that 😭October 7, 2025

"Let's fucking move..." Jesus...Have the people involved with this production ever played a single minute of the game to see how Geralt speaks/emotes? https://t.co/ax7pNbVeTjOctober 8, 2025
