Cavill’s film is a new version of the 1986 action-fantasy about an immortal Scottish swordsman’s battle against another immortal warrior that starred Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery.

The epic tale, which took place across past and present-day storylines, was told through several movies and a TV series that aired for six seasons in the ’90s.
