The upcoming Highlander movie will be a family affair, as wrestler Drew McIntyre has joined the film as Henry Cavill’s brother.
Per Deadline , the two-time WWE champion will play Angus MacLeod, brother to Cavill’s Connor. In the original movie, Angus was played by James Cosmo; he’s one of Connor’s cousins featured in flashbacks to the 16th-century Scottish Highlands. After Connor died and experienced his first Quickening, Angus was the only one who didn’t reject him outright and ordered their clan to banish his cousin rather than burn him at the stake.
Highlander is McIntyre’s second acting project following The Killer’s Game from February and reunites him with that film’s lead, Dave Bautista. In Highlander , the pair are joined alongside Cavill by the previously cast Russe
