Costs a lot of money to license a Queen original song. They'll get a Yungblud cover.

Well that blows.

Also, that article saying that Cavill starred in Deadpool and Wolverine is a wee bit of an exaggeration.

There can be only one Kurgan, and that's Clancy Brown. It's kind of like recasting Khan.

Still, I'm in for the remake, just to see how well they do it.

First look of Henry Cavillbas Connor MacLeod.

I saw that apparently Christopher Lambert has been cast for a cameo in the remake. I told this to a friend, and he suggested that Adrian Paul should have a cameo, too. I said that would be like casting Dolph Lundgren for a cameo in a remake of the original Rocky. He said it would be no worse than what they did for Lost In Space or The A*Team. I reminded him that those actors played roles in the original versions of those particular properties, and that Adrian Paul had nothing to do with the original Highlander. Am I wrong for thinking his idea doesn't make sense?

I get your reasoning. However, this movie is said to feature Connor but follow the lore of the series (that's why Jeremy Irons is playing one of the Watchers). Also, Adrian Paul was originally cast as Connor MacLeod in the series. It was at his request that the character of Duncan MacLeod was created instead. So there is enough DNA from the '86 movie and the TV series to warrant cameos by both Christopher Lambert and Adrian Paul.

I much prefer the Highlander TV series to the original movie (the sequels just don't exist in my mind) so I'd rather have Paul in there than Lambert anyway.

One of the Highlander sequels use the Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul) character meeting the movie immortals.

The series is the reason the franchise endured. However, I'd like both actors there. Heck, Lambert even guest starred in the pilot episode as Connor MacLeod.

and later they starred together in the sequel Highlander: Endgame. So I'd say there is enough connection between Adrian Paul and the movie franchise.

Yeah, I omitted that one in my comment, since Draven doesn't count any of the sequels in his head cannon. I do recall Highlander: Endgame pissed off series fans since it followed the movie rules instead of the TV rules. By that I mean how killing on holy ground was taboo but with no real consequences in the first two movies, but had grave supernatural repercussions in the TV series (Pompeii). However, the third movie, Highlander III: The Sorcerer/Highlander: The Final Dimension/Highlander: The Final Conflict, did follow the TV series rules.

I think they didn't think much about any canon in the movies or at the beginning of the series. The show developed its own lore, since it had a lot of time to do so, but the whole concept of the show contradicts the events of the first movie. In my opinion canon often times stands in the way of good storytelling. In the case of Highlander the disregard of canon made a good show possible and gave the franchise a more nuanced lore, regarding the sequel movies canon isn't the problem, the storytelling sucked.

In my opinion it's a good decision to use parts of the movie and the show to make a better remake. If they want a new franchise, the movie shouldn't include The Gathering.
