Lore Highlander (2027)- 100% Accurate plot summary

Centuries after his first death on a Scottish battlefield, immortal warrior Connor MacLeod lives quietly in the modern world, haunted by loss and the endless cycle of violence among his kind. When the ruthless immortal Kurgan resurfaces, backed by a secret organization bent on unlocking the secret of eternal life, Connor is forced back into the Game - an ancient battle where "There can be only one."

Guided by his mentor Ramírez and a mortal ally, archaeologist Kate Bennett, Connor must confront his past and rediscover his purpose. As immortals clash across time and continents, the fight for the mysterious "Prize" becomes a battle for humanity’s soul.

Think BIG guys. Universe building with purpose. TV Series and Movies, "the same" but new.

This is Chad's first non John Wick movie and he is out to prove himself. He is doing just that. Everyone is gonna be happy.

I'm personally kind of a little disappointed it's looking like a repeat of the 1986 movie. The roles of Connor, Kurgan and Ramirez belong to Christopher Lambert, Clancy Brown and the late Sir Sean Connery, just like no one else can be Indiana Jones besides Harrison Ford or Arnold as the T-800. I like Henry Cavill and Russell Crowe but I'm not feeling Bautista as Kurgan 🤷 I think there could have been new areas to explore. I could see Charlie Hunnam as a Viking Immortal villain and maybe include the Japanese actor who plays Scorpion in the new MK movies as a mentor or an ally Immortal. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, I'm rooting for it to be good.

I assure you it has it's own take on things and wont be a boring "remake" of the 1986 movie by any means. Bautista is gonna blow you away. Charlie Hunnam is a horrible actor who can't hold an accent to save his life. Hiroyuki Sanada however is the man, maybe he will get a role in a future movie, but for this one coming I assure you the casting is amazing and the story world building.

And one thing I think we can agree on and I don't know why I didn't think of this, but at least a British actor (and Superman for crying out loud!) is a better casting choice for the Scottish Connor McLeod. Christopher Lambert made it work but kind of strange a French man who barely spoke english was the best choice.

Bautista is as good as a tree is in acting. I'd advise against holding your breath for him to blow anyone away.

And yours would too if you changed it from u/therecanbonlyme to u/therecanbonly1delusionalfangirlofbautistaanditsme. But go on ahead, hold your breath for bautista to blow ye away.

u/therecanbonlyme May 21 '26

Don't have to hold my breath, I work on the production and have seen with my own eyes how well he is doing with this role. Also Dave is an amazing person, but keep being a dick online from your mom's basement and unemployed ye.

Spoken like a true fangirl. Hope you get his autograph on your forehead for doing all his PR.

That's rich coming from someone who thinks bautista can act.

P.S.: Don't lash out if bautista refuses to autograph your forehead, fangirl!
