Dave Bautista Will Showdown With Henry Cavill In 'Highlander'

Superman as the Highlander was cool enough, but now he’s going to showdown with Drax, and, as we know, there can be only one.

Yes, Dave Bautista is joining the cast of the upcoming reboot of Highlander from director Chad Stahelski. Henry Cavill stars as Connor MacLeod, a man who discovers he’s an immortal being called a Highlander . He’s opposed by the Kurgan, another Highlander who has been killing them across the centuries. That’s Bautista.

The Hollywood Reporter broke the news of the casting, which is just the latest in what is turning out to be a very awesome group. Case in point, Russell Crowe is playing Ramirez, the Highlander who takes MacLeod under his wing. In the original 1986 film, Christopher Lambert was MacLeod, Sean Connery was Ramirez, and Clancy Brown was the Kurg
