By WiC Staff
We sort through the aftermath of Henry Cavill’s surprise departure from The Witcher, celebrate the return of The Sandman, and more!
It’s time for another round of WiC Weekly, where we go over the latest news from the worlds of fantasy, sci-fi, movies and TV. First up, it was a very House of the Dragon Halloween:

“The book was better.” When is a change to source material “legitimate” and when is it stupid? George R.R. Martin and Neil Gaiman talk it through.

The prodigal Sandman returns!

George R.R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire series is told through via viewpoint characters, and walking in their shoes is easier for some than others:

Circling back to Henry Cavill, now that his time is about to free up, we have some ideas about how he could use it:
Henry Cavill is leaving The Witcher. Is there any other medieval fantasy show he could join where he'd get to wear a long white-blonde wig? https://t.co/zViU5gHDpO

The future of Star Wars movies has been in limbo for a while. According to a new report, it’s resulted in a “culture of fear and indecision” at Lucasfilm.
