11 Aug - Dave Bautista is currently in final talks to star alongside Henry Cavill in "Highlander". The actor reportedly has received an offer to play the villain in the Amazon MGM's remake of the 1980s cult classic - an immortal barbarian known as Kurgan who has been killing other immortals across the centuries in order to absorb their essence. The character was previously portrayed by Clancy Brown in the original film.
It is noted that Bautista had previously expressed interest in the role back in 2015, when a version of the film was being written. Fans have also expressed their support in seeing Bautista going against Cavill.
The upcoming movie will be helmed by "John Wick" director, Chad Stahelski. Other cast members include Russell Crowe and Marisa Abela. On the other hand, Bautista has recently concluded filming the Jason Momoa-starrer, "The Wrecking Crew".
