The entire article is speculation. Chad Stahelski, who directed John Wick, has been trying for years to reboot this franchise, but so did Justin Lin (The Fast & The Furious movies, Star Trek 3), who has far more clout at Universal, yet it didn't work out.
If this version is a go, Cavill would be fine as Connor MaCleod and at least he has a British accent. I always thought it was weird that the Highlander was Scottish yet Christopher Lambert spoke English with a French accent.
That said, I'll believe it when I see it. And I'm weary that Universal will make it PG-13 and not R, so it will "appeal to more people", which would just take the meat out of the project.
