This New Henry Cavill Highlander Deepfake is Superbly Done

Henry Cavill Deepfake feature rTime to enjoy the powers of the internet as Henry Cavill appears in the new Highlander deepfake as Connor MacLeod- check it out!

With the reboot on the way and Henry Cavill announced as the star, people are already clambering over what it will look like. We don’t even know yet if Connor will be the main focus, or what the story will really all be about. Still, this video by Stryder HD is pretty awesome and just too cool not to watch.

It does seem likely the reboot will still feature around Macleod, but with Henry involved it will probably be sweet. His track record of late for fantasy/sci-fi stuff has been great. So we expect the reboot to be something awesome. The fans have been pretty adamant that he will be the Macleod, so let’s hope they are right! Let’s check out the video.

This somehow makes the original 1986 trailer just that much cooler! The music is different from the original trailer, but that seems to be a creative choice by the creator of the video, nothing to do with the actual reboot. What is there to say other than they did an amazing job and he fits in perfectly! If you were wondering what the reboot could look like, this hopefully sets your worries straight. In basically every scene he looks right at home and we are more excited than ever about the reboot.

Henry Cavill Deepfake 2First off, deepfakes are scary, because this just looks so good. But in every scene in the trailer, Henry looks quite at home in the role (even though it’s not actually him…).

Henry Cavill Deepfake 3There can be only one! We would love to see Cavill recreate this scene in the reboot!

Are you excited about the reboot? Do you think the story will feature around Connor again?
