Henry Cavill starring Highlander Reboot
The original Highlander movie was released back in 1986. In an interview, Henry Cavill had opened up about headlining the movie as the lead actor. Sharing how he has always been a huge fan of the franchise and how the Highlander reboot will delve deeper and will have a different approach than previous renditions, he said he wanted to be more than a guy with a cool sword.
The Witcher actor explained, “I’m gonna have to answer that very carefully. I was a Highlander fan. They were great fun movies. Obviously, I watched them when I was a lot younger, and since rewatched. But also the TV show. I really enjoyed the lore behind it. That sort of sense of a tragic warrior, with more of a story to tell than just a cool guy with a cool sword doing cool things. And this goes even deeper into that.”
The Highlander reboot will follow the original plot revolving around Connor MacLeod who figures out that he is one of the immortal warriors who can only be killed by beheading. He lives his fair share of peaceful life only to get pulled back on the battlefield where his enemy returns to kill him. How his life turns out is what makes the narrative of the movie.
Henry Cavill’s fans have been waiting with bated breath to watch him as Connor MacLeod. Now, that the director has given an update about when the filming might begin, it is expected the movie will get a release date in 2026. Let us know your thoughts about it.
