TheHenry Cavill-led Highlander reboothas taken a while to get off the ground, but the former Superman star is promising big things. Helmed byJohn Wick’s Chad Stahelski, it follows an immortal Scottish swordsman who must battle to save humanity.
“I am a Highlander fan, they’re great fun movies,” Cavill said on theHappy Sad Confused podcast. “Obviously I watched them when I was a lot younger and have since rewatched, but also the TV show. I really enjoyed the lore behind it, that sense of a tragic warrior with more of a story to tell than a cool guy with a sword, doing cool things, and this goes even deeper into that.”
Cavill has got a busy schedule ahead, with his latest filmArgylleout now,tentative plans for an Argylle sequel in the works, hisWarhammer 40,000 franchise in the works, andGuy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare out very soon too.
