There\u2019s a neon-drenched fight at a crowded rave, plus plenty of sword battles and motorcycle chases. Cavill\u2019s immortal character is revealed to have been born in 1518 and is forced to fight fellow undying killers at The Gathering, where only one survivor can be left alive. Filming will continue in Poland, the Scottish Highlands and Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tCavill takes on the Highlander mantle in the upcoming reboot from Christopher Lambert, who starred in the original 1986 action movie. After playing Superman in the DC Universe and monster hunter Geralt of Rivia in Netflix\u2019s \u201cThe Witcher\u201d series, Cavill is going back in time for another action franchise. He\u2019ll be directed by Stahelski, the former stuntman turned filmmaker who\u2019s helmed all four \u201cJohn Wick\u201d movies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tCavill stars as the 16th century Scottish swordsman Connor MacLeod, who learns he\u2019s immortal and destined to fight fellow warriors across generations to claim a mysterious prize. Lambert originated the role in the 1986 movie, which also starred Sean Connery, Clancy Brown and Roxanne Hart. In the reboot, Russell Crowe plays Juan S\u00e1nchez-Villalobos Ram\u00edrez, the warrior first played by Connery, and Dave Bautista is The Kurgan, Brown\u2019s brutal barbarian from the first movie. Fellow cast members include Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, Dave Bautista, Marisa Abela, Jeremy Irons, Max Zhang and Siobh\u00e1n Cullen. Michael Finch wrote the script, and Ryan J. Condal and Kerry Williamson worked on earlier drafts of the film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAfter the first movie, the \u201cHighlander\u201d franchise continued with several sequels, which received mostly negative reviews, an animated TV series and spinoff novels. Cavill\u2019s reboot will be the first \u201cHighlander\u201d movie on the big screen since 2000\u2019s \u201cHighlander: Endgame.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Henry Cavill\u2018s \u201cHighlander\u201d reboot got a first look during Amazon MGM\u2019s presentation at CinemaCon, the annual convention for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":731807,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[9],"tags":[298421,171,33450,65439,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-731806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-cinemacon","tag-entertainment","tag-henry-cavill","tag-highlander","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116413728962809061","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=731806"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731806\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/731807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=731806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=731806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=731806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
