Over the years, fans have seen Henry Cavill take on some pretty dominating roles. From Superman to Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s The Witcher, he has continually outdone himself. However, with him giving up his sword fighting for a role in Argylle, the world thought they would never see the star again in all his glory. Thankfully, they soon realized that would not be the case, as he was set to embody another iconic swordsman in the upcoming Highlander reboot.

With the actor taking up the role of two characters with amazing swordsmanship, let us see which of Cavill’s iconic characters would win in a battle.

Comparing Henry Cavill’s The Witcher’s Geralt of Rivia and Highlander’s Connor MacLeod

In a hypothetical showdown, Henry Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia and the Highlander, from his upcoming role, would both prove to be outstanding fighters. In fact, both the characters have pretty impressive skill sets and strengths that could give them an advantage over the other. However, before pitting them against one another, let us check out their individual powers first.

Henry Cavill’s strengths as Geralt of Rivia

Henry Cavill might be known for his role as Superman. However, the actor has many other iconic roles. His most recent was Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher. While the character has many formidable strengths that make him a force to be reckoned with, it comes from a lot of effort. With superhuman powers and reflexes, the character has a knack for strategizing for combat.

In fact, his mastery of the silver sword in the show is only a testament to his skills. While he might be somewhat terrifying at times, Cavill’s character always put his combat skills on display. Although his fighting skills would be enough to get him through a battle with the Highlander, his vast knowledge of alchemy, thanks to his training will also give him an upper hand.

While the actor’s character might be one of the most powerful on the show, there is no saying what could happen if he was to go up against Connor Macleod.

Strengths of Highlander’s Connor Macleod

Ever since the world got wind of Henry Cavill’s upcoming Highlander reboot, everyone has been abuzz. While the character has not been seen in decades, Connor Macleod was first portrayed by Chistopher Lambert in 1986. Although it has been a while since fans have seen the beloved character, one thing is for sure: He is a legendary and immortal warrior.

In the original Highlander film, Macleod received his power from The Quickening. The event not only gave him incredible power but also the ability to heal himself, sort of like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. However, along with his immeasurable power, the Highlander was also able to face challenges across different time periods and environments.

While Connor Macleod is one of the most compelling characters of the film, there is no doubt that he will surely put up a tough fight with anyone he has to go up against.

Geralt vs the Highlander

If there was to ever be a confrontation between Geralt of Rivia and Highlander’s Connor MacLeod, fans would be in for a treat. While both the characters are truly strong individual forces, bringing them together is sure to end in a bloody battle. Although Geralt would use his quick reflexes, and signs like Igni and Quen to gain an advantage over his opponent, there is no doubt that Macleod would take the lead.

In fact, for Connor MacLeod, his immortality would give him an upper hand as he has the resilience to withstand Geralt’s attacks and adapt to his tactics over time. Although the battle would be prolonged with Geralt’s alchemy skills, the Highlander character would probably end up winning the fight.
