Henry Cavill has returned to play the sword-wielding Scottish warrior in the upcoming Highlander reboot, directed by Chad Stahelski and described as "John Wick with swords". The footage, set to Queen's "We Will Rock You", reportedly includes behind-the-scenes interviews, in-film sequences, and numerous fight scenes. This could help alleviate the sadness of Cavill's departure from his role as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher.
