Henry Cavill made his upcoming Highlander reboot all the more exciting by comparing it to The Witcher, and how it will be even better. The actor spent a few years playing Geralt of Rivia in three seasons of Netflix's fantasy series before walking away from the role. This opened up his schedule to pursue other projects, including the new Highlander reboot he's developing with John Wick's Chad Stahelski. The film is a reimagining of the fantasy movie franchise that began in the 1980s starring Christopher Lambert as the immortal warrior Connor MacLeod.
