THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE

The headline makes it sound like it's an exciting new reveal about the remake reboot (whatevs) that he will be wielding a sword. Such a creatively bold choice.

Reboot. Yawn. Not even Cavill will make it exciting.

[exlisper@lemmy.curiana.net]

Is Cavill now just looking for roles where he can swing a sword?

[qarbone@lemmy.world]

I would not be surprised. Guy's got the right idea

wish it were a sequel instead, but ok

[tbi@lemmy.world]

… Reboot

[shy@lemmy.ca]

I think it’s important to reboot and permanently undo Highlander II: The Quickening

[_nico198x_@europe.pub]

i think we all already ignore it. XD i hate to lose the show

[mycatiskai@lemmy.ca]

It would be interesting to have Adrian Paul do a cameo as Duncan MacLeod just to keep the tv show canon.

We haven't exactly had good luck with Highlander sequels tbh. I bet Cavill is well aware of how bad they are and wouldn't want to be in one.

Maehhh Higkander was only good because of Clancy Brown and Queen. Sans a standout performance as The Kurgen, this will be twrrible. How someone can surpass Clancy Brown... I do not know.

[gcanuck@lemmy.world]

Dave Bautista is The Kurgan.

I have faith in Dave. He’s a solid actor that will hopefully be able to chew the scenery in such a way that does the role justice.

And skimming through the cast, it’s solid. They’ll at least have good actors in it.

Notable cast:
Jeremy Irons
Russell Crowe
Karen Gillian
Djimon Hounsou
Jenn Jong-so

I have good hopes for this reboot.

Also: soundtrack will include OG Queen, so have faith my friend.
