“I’ve been working on ‘Highlanders’ for Henry Cavill for years, he’s been tough,” admits Chad Stahelski.
When will the immortals of Henry Cavill finally be able to see each other? The question has been in the air for several years after the British advanced that he was in the project to recover the successful series of movies and a TV series about men who could only die if their heads were cut off. Finally there is an answer and an explanation of the opacity and the delay.
The person in charge is the director of the films of John Wick. Chad Stahelskithe former stunt coordinator for action scenes that has given glamour, grandeur and epicness to the hero incarnated by Keanu Reeveshas acknowledged that his work with the bogeyman of the 21st century and the high expectations are the reasons why ‘The Immortals’ have not even started filming despite the support of Henry Cavill.
“I’ve worked on ‘The Immortals’ for Henry Cavill for years. Looking back is hard,” Chad Stahelski explained in an interview on Deadline in which he pointed out an important difference with his hit John Wick. “What’s the difference? You’re not responding to seven seasons on television, two related series, and two movies. If you are going to relaunch ‘The Immortals’, a lot is expected of that mythology in the first two hours; you can’t explore new topics without this. (..) It’s more complicated when you’re trying to do something with such a big mythology.“, he pointed out about the main problem of the project.
However, the director of John Wick has a clear idea of what his wishes are. “As a TV series it would be amazing. You have time to build it up, for all the flashbacks and its full potential,” Chad Stahelski teased.
What the filmmaker did not reveal was the role that Henry Cavill would have in the new immortals. The protagonist of ‘Superman, the man of steel’ or from the first seasons of the series ‘The Witcher’ He does not have an assigned role and has not given clues either. Would he be a villain? The main actor? A supporting actor with cameos? It is not known and first its director will have to be clarified, but everything indicates that it will be necessary to wait much longer than what the fans want.
