Following last week's news that Chad Stahelski had been handed the keys to the Highlander kingdom, there was a slight question mark in the air as the press release came without a mention of the film's leading man. And after all, there can be only one. Henry Cavill has been informally attached to the role of Connor MacLeod for a long time, but now, we have more clarity on the issue as the star confirmed that he was about to begin training on the project.

Speaking with Collider's Steve Weintraub, while promoting his new film Argylle, alongside co-star Sam Rockwell, Cavill was asked about the status of the film and, in particular, the sword training he was about to undertake for the role. Cavill spoke about his excitement at getting to work on the film, adding that he wanted to keep more specific details under wraps before revealing too much. In his own words:

"The training is about to begin in earnest. It'll be a very long training process, and I'm very excited to get into it. There's only so much I can tell you at the moment. I want to keep everything under wraps for as long as possible."
