Speaking of Ryan Reynolds, the actor was once attached to star in The Highlander reboot, but he left the project several years ago.
At this point, there is no lead to play the role of Connor Macloud, originally played by Christopher Lambert in the 1986 original.
A year ago it had been announced that Guardians of the Galaxy’s Dave Bautista had signed to play the villain, and as far as we know that’s still the case.
Tom Cruise’s name had been floated as a potential choice to take on the mentor role, originally played by Sean Connery, but nothing has come of that, at least not that’s been formally announced.
