He seemed fine in the teaser trailer. Cavill has a lot of fanboys who will no doubt pretend that no one else in the world is capable of playing the "extremely complex" character of Geralt (lol), so I'm sure Hemsworth will get all the usual hatred sent his way regardless of what he does. I'm not really sure why anyone wanted that role after Cavill left, it's clearly a poisoned chalice.
It's just a guess, but I think it had something to do with money.
I wasn't thinking in such reductionist terms. He's a Hollywood actor with a reasonably big name, I'm sure there are plenty of other opportunities floating around for him.
Yeah I suppose it's all relative. Perhaps he sees himself as a bigger name than he ever has been in reality, in which case it's true that this is probably the highest profile role he could take on currently.
