The Witcher may not be Henry Cavill&#8217;s last fantasy outing. There were reports before that the British hunk was in talks to star in another fantasy project, the action-packed Highlander. But there was no news about the actor confirming the role until Chad Stalheski recently dropped us a new update on the project and The Witcher&#8216;s participation in the project. Looks like we are inching closer to an official announcement of this Henry Cavill project! 
<h2>Chad Stahelski confirms Henry Cavill is his &#8220;biggest choice&#8221; for Highlander </h2>
The John Wick director shared that the project is &#8220;still in the creatives&#8220;. They are making little changes and &#8220;tweaks&#8221; here and there to get to the final draft. But he assured the fans, &#8220;We know what we&#8217;re trying to make. It&#8217;s just a matter of getting it to the point where we feel, &#8220;Okay, this is it. Let&#8217;s go.&#8221; But we&#8217;re closer than we&#8217;ve ever been, so that&#8217;s good.&#8221; 
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Chad-Stahelski-Matrix-Premiere-GettyImages-1359785035-H-2021.jpg?w=1024" alt="" width="1024" height="576" />
Speaking about Cavill&#8217;s association with the film, the director revealed that he did have a chat with the actor. Chad is keen on getting him onboard since he is his &#8220;biggest choice&#8220;. He further <a href="https://collider.com/highlander-remake-henry-cavill-chad-stahleski-comments-new-movie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained</a> his reasons for his pick, &#8220;It&#8217;s not just about muscles and brooding. I think he&#8217;s got an incredible range, and I think he&#8217;d bring something very special. And his enthusiasm has been amazing in it.&#8221;
<img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/uVSYAtd9lfwkWvN8yaxUXoTR4oM=/1400x1400/filters:format(jpeg)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/13364001/WW_HenryCavill_firstlook_219_DIGITAL_2.jpg" alt="" width="1400" height="1400" />
Casting Henry Cavill as the titular immortal warrior, Connor MacLeod does make perfect sense. The actor has already proven that he is a bonafide action star. From Mission Impossible: Fallout to The Man from U.N.C.L.E, he has done it all. Not to mention he has got the brooding character down in fantasies like <a href="http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher">The Witcher</a>.

<h2>What is Highlander about? </h2>
Highlander follows a millennia-long battle between immortal warriors to become only one Highlander. Set in the 16th century, the warriors fight till death to absorb each other&#8217;s energy. There is a Christopher Lambert-led Highlander 1, 2. and 3, and Adrian Paul led Highlander: Endgame and TV series. 
Cavill may or <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-is-dwayne-the-rock-johnson-holding-henry-cavill-from-returning-as-superman-to-the-dceu/">may not return as Superman</a>, but he&#8217;s currently shooting The Witcher.
