Over the last year, I’ve found myself writing about the Highlander reboot starring Henry Cavill quite a bit. After more than a decade spent in development hell, the project was finally greenlit in 2023, and casting news started rolling in last year. While I was mildly interested in this new take because I like many of the actors who’ve been announced to appear, I definitely wouldn’t say I was ecstatic for Highlander because, and some of you may be surprised by this, I’d never actually seen the 1986 original. In my defense, it’s not like it’s considered to be one of the best 1980s movies.
