A post shared by Henry Cavill (@henrycavill)

“I have exciting news. I’ve been a fan of “Los Inmortales” since I was young. From the movies with all the glory of the 80s with music by Queen to the television series with an actor who looked a lot like one of my brothers, “he points out on Instagram in a post in which he emphasizes that” not to be shy with swords and having a director as talented as Chad Stahelski at the helm makes this an opportunity like no other ”to make this project“ an adventure that I (and hopefully all of you) will never forget ”.

In addition, the British actor added humor to the publication by adding a second image with a bottle of Scotch whiskey , two books on the history of the kilt, popularly known as kilt, and a beautiful dagger. “And as you can see, lately I’ve been diving into my Scottish roots a bit and, without realizing it… I’ve already started preparing my character!” He wrote.

Directed by Russell Mulcahy and starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery, the first “The Immortals” film was released in 1986 and featured a race of beings that can only be beheaded by one another.
