Speaking of the series, Cavill said:

If you thought you’d seen me do sword work before, you haven’t seen anything yet.

Cavill continued to share his love of the franchise, which will be just one of the projects coming up for the former Superman actor alongside his Warhammer 40K project, and another Guy Ritchie movie, In the Grey. Of Highlander, he said:

“I’m a lover of the original movies, for better or for worse, and it’s one of those things where when I was reading the script for the first time I wasn’t quite too sure where they were going to go with it.” The first few movies “touched on the lore… but my goodness me oh my, we are going deep into these characters.”
