Certainly an upgrade from Ryan Reynolds. On that note.. @Yoda, can you please edit the thread title?

Really think the headlines should read something more like "Henry Cavill's chin cast as the new Highlander."

An English actor playing a Highlander? Scandal! :D

Re: Highlander remake (starring Henry Cavill)
 

Yeah, it definitely needs to be some European continental who can't do a Scottish accent or even speak English to be faithful to the source.

So, who's playing Kurgan? I hope it's Kristofer Hivju a.k.a. Tormund Giantsbane from GoT.

Rowan Atkinson? The comedy version.

Wouldn't mind if Bautista did end up playing the Kurgan after all.

I did rewatch the original recently and read up on it a little to find that the Kurgan originally had a more nuanced characterisation, like he had more of a weary determination and wore a suit and hat that was radically different to the whole metalhead barbarian vibe Clancy Brown had going on. Not saying that choosing to go that route for this remake would necessarily be an improvement, but it does sound like an intriguing concept nonetheless - either way, Bautista could pull it off.

Why are they doing a remake? Was something wrong with the original?

Chad Stahelski has announced now that he's taking a break from the John Wick world, "Highlander" is his next film. Budget is set at $100M and he will be using the Queen soundtrack from the original in the new film as well.

After "Highlander", I believe Stahelski will be doing "Ghost of Tsushima".
