Before the start of San Diego Comic-Con 2022 the fact emerged that henry cavill would appear during the Warner panel to announce his I come back as Superman. This did not happen and the fans were restless waiting to know what will happen to Henry. While this is happening, The Witcher actor has more work on the way.
Director Chad Stahelskyresponsible for the acclaimed saga of John Wickannounced that the remake of an iconic 80s movie is on the way, which has Cavill in the lead role, we are talking about highlander.
The 1986 film told the story of Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert), a 16th-century Scotsman who discovers that he is immortal thanks to the intervention of Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez (Sean Connery). This other immortal will help Connor to train in the art of the sword, since how people are governed by a law, there can only be one! This leads to immortals being measured in combat, the winner will be the one who cuts off the other’s head.
highlander, which had a glorious original song by Queen, did not enjoy much success in the US, but it did in the rest of the world. The profits and the good reception ensured that the story became a franchise that not only spawned two more sequels, but also a spin-off series centered on Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul), a relative of Connor.
Over the years there have been various plans to bring back the immortal Scotsman, but they never came to fruition. In recent times the situation revived again, so Lionsgate got the rights to the story and hired the director of John Wick to take the reins of leadership. The pandemic and other reasons stalled the remake, but last year it gained new momentum when it was confirmed to henry cavill like the new Connor MacLeod.
Recently Stahelski was interviewed by Collider and during the talk the director was approached about highlander. Chad brought reassurance by commenting that the project is still on track and it seems “it’s closer than ever.”
“We are in the process of adjusting at the moment. I think we know what we want. Most importantly, we know what we want to do”, commented the director. “It’s just a matter of getting to the point where we feel, “Okay, this is it. Let’s go.” But we’re closer than ever, so that’s good”, he added.
Although Stahelski does not elaborate with greater details, it is more than positive to know that the story is on track. So it will be a matter of waiting a little longer to see Henry brandish a sword and say the lines of the immortals.
