Now we look: Russell Crowe joined Henry Cavill in the refutation “Highlander”

Code of Stahelski, the director of all parts of John Wick, is working on production, and apparently not only the Rodist of the Highlander is waiting, but also reconsidering the entire universe.

And now it was announced that Russell Crowe joined Henry Cavalle in Caste. Who he will play – while they are kept secret, but the actor himself hinted in social networks that his hero is a “Spaniard”. The fans immediately suspected that Crowe could play a new Ramirez, the mentor of the protagonist, who was played in the original by Sean Connery. The age difference between Kavill (42) and Crowe (61) is about the same as the Christopher Lambert and Connery had in 1986.

If Stahelsky really follows the path of spiritual heritage and not copying banally, then Ramirez is performed by Crowe a powerful step. The director has already said that he wants to expand the scaling and transfer events of the 16th century to the current races in New York and Hong Kong. According to him, this is not only a story about immortal screens, but also an “unusual love story”, as well as the opportunity to show how the character experiences dozens of eras in 500 years and learns all the martial arts in a row. And yes, a lot of action is promised.

According to De Plot, “Highlander” tells about Connor Maclade, who teaches that he is one of the immortal warriors who can only die from decapitation. The last one who will survive receives the “prize” – the power and knowledge of everyone else. In the original, the hero lived in New York of the 80s and prepared for the last battle. According to rumors, the new film will retain this basis, but will process the details considerably.

Amazon and MGM are clearly put on a large -scale revival, and if everything goes according to plan, they may have a new franchise from John Wick’s level in their hands. But this time – with swords, immortality and resettlement Crowe as a mentor.
