Many rumours are swirling about who might play the lead role in this reboot, but currently, we have no confirmation (despite claims from the IMDB page).

Some people are speculating that Christopher Lambert might return to play MacLeod, but we’re not sure if he will want to commit himself to such a long shot given his age. We can only hope!

Henry Cavill is in talks to join the “Highlander Reboot”!

Rumours: Multiple internet sources claim; that Henry Cavill is the frontrunner; for the role of Connor McLeod; on ‘The Highlander Reboot.’ The British actor; has reportedly been offered; a whopping $20 million paycheck. This rumour was fuelled; by an Instagram photo showing Cavill; meeting with director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan (who will take over from original Highlander director Russell Mulcahy).

Speculations:

The Highlander Reboot will mark the first time; a studio has attempted; to revive the franchise; after it was left dormant; for over twenty years. Rumours have also taken into account; that Warner Bros is looking for a “big name star” and Cavill’s reputation; as a talented actor who can “move from genre-to-genre.” This speculation could be supported; by his recent roles; in films like ‘Man of Steel,’ ‘Batman v Superman’ and playing opposite Armie Hammer in ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’

Plot News:

There are currently no plot details available, but we can speculate on what might happen next! Some sources say Connor McLeod’s (played by Christopher Lambert in the original Highlander) brother might be a potential candidate to take his place.

A new director has been announced, Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, who is known for directing ‘The Huntsman: Winter’s War.’ This was seen as good news because he possesses experience with visual effects and fantasy films – two important aspects of this reboot! Troyan will also work alongside Andrea Berloff, who previously worked on ‘Straight Outta Compton’ and co-wrote Warner Bros.’ upcoming film ‘Berlin I Love You.’

Mulcahy himself expressed interest in directing the remake, but it seems that when it comes down to it, WB isn’t interested in hearing from him.

It was announced that Highlander is in negotiations with Warner Brothers to remake the original 1986 film, following a series of conversations between Christopher Lambert and Mulcahy.

Lambert himself shared his thoughts on how he would like this reboot to go: “I think it’s going very well,” Lambert said. “It looks like they’re negotiating with Warner Bros., which I guess makes sense because they own the rights now.” This news could mean much more than just an appearance from Henry Cavill as Connor MacLeod – if successful, Highlander will be one step closer to getting back its franchise title!

Christopher Lambert played Connor MacLeod during the first film, so had they not planned to include him as part of this new franchise, then we might have seen someone else play the role instead! It’s likely that whoever plays Connor.
