Jeremy Irons, the actor who’s one Grammy short of an EGOT, is the latest star to join the cast of Amazon MGM’s remake of the 1980s cult classic Highlander. He joins Henry Cavill, Russell Crowe, Marisa Abela, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan and Djimon Hounsou.

The original 1986 film starred Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod, a Medieval Scottish Highlander who discovers he is one of a group of immortals destined to fight until only one remains, claiming the “Prize”. The story flashes between MacLeod’s 16th-century Scottish origins and his present-day life in New York City. Guided by the immortal swordsman Ramirez (Sean Connery), MacLeod learns about his immortality and the impending “Gathering” where the final battle will take place.

In this remake, Cavill will play MacLeod and Crowe, Ramirez. Dave Bautista will portray the immortal barbarian The Kurgen, who has been killing other immortals in order to absorb their life force and has been MacLeod’s nemesis across the centuries. Gillan will play Heather, MacLeod’s mortal wife and the love of his life. Hounsou is an immortal warrior from Africa, andAbela is MacLeod’s modern romantic interest. Max Zhang and Drew McIntyre are also in the cast.

Jeremy Irons will play the other primary antagonist, the leader of a secret order called The Watchers, who are keeping an eye on the immortals and regard them as a threat to humanity.

Chad Stahelski is directing the feature from a script by Michael Finch, and principal photography is due to begin this autumn. Though the project does not yet have a confirmed release date, we do know it will get a theatrical release before making its way to Prime Video.
