Superman actor Henry Cavill is currently in negotiations for a leading role in the fantasy classic reboot “Highlander”.

The fantasy action “Highlander” is supposed to get a reboot – and one of the actors seems to be as good as found. Superman actor and “The Witcher” star Henry Cavill (38) is currently in negotiations for one of the leading roles. This reports the industry website “Deadline” citing unspecified insider sources.

Who he could play

It is not known what role Cavill is in discussion for. The original from the 1980s included Christopher Lambert (64) as Connor MacLeod and Sean Connery (1930-2020), who played Ramirez. Cavill as MacLeod would be quite obvious. But he could also represent a completely new character.

Behind the camera, Chad Stahelski (52), who is known not only as a stuntman but also as the director of the “John Wick” series, will act as the person in charge. The script was written by Kerry Williamson. No other actors are currently in discussion besides Cavill. There are also no details yet about the possible story or a release date.
