After leaving The Witcher and the DCU, Henry Cavill moves toward achieving his other dream with the Prime Studio. However, fans felt devastated when they heard the news about their favorite actor leaving both his iconic roles. Despite the grand exits from both his iconic roles, the British actor is going to make the perfect blend for his upcoming project, Highlander Reboot.

The Enola Holmes actor is going to star in the Highlander reboot for the title role. Chad Stahelski will be directing the upcoming film and bringing out the best of The Witcher and Superman combination in the fan-favorite actor.

The Netflix Original drama, though, became a huge hit, could not become a well-adapted series. Cavill cared deeply for the source material and the drama being closer to the books and the video games. However, the show made a mistake that Highlander can now easily avoid as it only has a film to follow instead of an eight hefty book long universe.

Despite Geralt of Rivia being one of the finest adaptations, Connor MacLeod will overshadow the drama character. Moreover, the Highlander reboot is a film rather than a series. Therefore, the filmmaker will have less chance to make mistakes that the Netflix drama made of deviating from the original material. Thus, Highlander Reboot has a greater chance of becoming the better fantasy franchise.

Another outstanding character that Henry Cavill played was Superman in the DCU. Although fans love the character adaptation to a great extent, there were some flows that Superman saw. How can Highlander Reboot overcome the lost Superman?

Highlander is as iconic as the DCU’s Superman. However, Highlander has more scope to dive deep into Cavill’s personality and portray him with more strength and power. Although the tone of Highlander will certainly differ from Superman, the foundation is just the same. Additionally, the sequel can also use the Black Adam star’s quality of paying attention to detail to their benefit.

The actor has a tendency to lean deeper into fantasy characters. And the Highlander franchise can use that to their advantage to make their project perfect in more senses. Moreover, Cavill can portray the kind of characters who must face the devil and save humanity. Therefore, with reference to these details, the Highlander reboot is arguably the best step in Cavill’s career.
