While promoting his upcoming action thriller Argyle, Cavill didn’t reveal much about his thoughts on Christopher Lambert’s original role in interviews with various outlets, other than that his training It has started in earnest.
“Training is about to officially start. It’s going to be a very long training process and I’m excited to be a part of it,” Cavill told Collider. “That’s all I can tell you at the moment. I want to keep everything a secret for as long as possible.”
“Highlander” was released in 1986, starring Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery and Clancy Brown as the unforgettable villain “Kurgan”. The film chronicles a centuries-long war between immortal warriors, with a storyline that spans the past and present.
The film was not a success at the box office, earning only $12.8 million internationally against a budget of $19 million; however, the film’s home video release was extremely popular and ultimately helped recoup its losses. Its popularity inspired four subsequent films, with Highlanders 2: Accelerated being the absolute worst of the series, with an alien storyline that was later removed from the special edition DVD released in 2004. Other media based on the Highlanders universe includes novels, animation, and decent movies. TV series starring British actor Adrian Paul as Duncan MacLeod. Square Enix was at one point developing a Highlander video game, scheduled for release in 2008. The program was canceled in 2010.
With the history lesson of “Highlander” over, the reboot is scheduled to be released in 2026. Cavill has been rumored to star in the “Highlander” reboot since early last year, but it turns out that he has been cast in the “Highlander” reboot for the past five years. Li has been paying close attention secretly. John Wick director Chad Stahelski only recently confirmed the film after rumors about the project first surfaced in 2008. Stahelski has since signed a deal with Lionsgate to oversee the follow-up to the Highlander series.
The rest of the cast has yet to be announced, but we’re curious as to who will fill Clancy Brown’s role as Kurgan. You need someone as big as Brown, who is 6-foot-2 and also intimidating. Maybe Dave Bautista? He was a big guy in his own right, standing 6 feet 4 inches tall, and quite intimidating. So, he might be able to succeed. But this is just our opinion.
