There can only be one Highlander, but apparently, Henry Cavill can be many superheroes.

Adding to his growing list of marquee franchises, the star of Man Of Steel and Netflix's The Witcher is in negotiations to star in Lionsgate's reboot of Highlander, the 1986 fantasy adventure film that spawned an entire pop-culture ecosystem, including sequels, TV series, tie-in novels, comics and video games.
