WWE wrestler and actor Drew McIntyre has officially joined the cast of the much-anticipated remake of the classic 1986 film ''Highlander''. The upcoming adaptation features Henry Cavill in the starring role of MacLeod, with Russell Crowe and Dave Bautista among the notable names joining him on the screen.
The film, produced under Amazon MGM's United Artists banner, will see McIntyre stepping into the role of MacLeod's brother, Angus MacLeod. Directed by Chad Stahelski, known for his work on ''John Wick'', this new interpretation is crafted from a script by Michael Finch. Deadline reports McIntyre's growing film resume, following his debut alongside Bautista in ''The Killer's Game''.
The original ''Highlander'' was a hit when released, thanks to Christopher Lambert's iconic portrayal of Connor MacLeod, an immortal warrior, and Sean Connery's memorable role as mentor swordsman Ramirez. Slated to breathe new life into the story, the upcoming version is produced by leading industry figures like Scott Stuber, Nick Nesbitt, and Neal H. Moritz.
