Highlander reboot director Chad Stahelski confirms the original Queen songs will return in his Henry Cavill-led movie, albeit with one caveat.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Chad Stahelski, the director tapped to helm the upcoming Highlander reboot featuring Henry Cavill, has confirmed that his movie will feature the original Queen songs.
Speaking with TheWrap, Stahelski spoke about his plans for the upcoming Highlander reboot and confirmed that the Queen songs would return for his movie, albeit with a mysterious caveat. Hinting that the original movie’s music will return “in a different way than you think,” he was still adamant that the Queen songs would play a role in the Cavill-led reboot.
Six of the nine Queen songs on the original A Kind of Magic album were featured in the original Highlander movie. Whether this means Stahelski might seek to have more modern bands provide cover versions of the Queen tracks, or even look to feature instrumental versions of their iconic riffs, remains to be seen. Alternately, with Queen still actively touring as a band with Adam Lambert stepping in for the late Freddie Mercury, it may even be possible that Stahelski could be aiming to add some new and previously unheard Queen music to his movie.
Instead, perhaps the most intriguing possibility rests in the franchise’s penchant for interweaving past and modern-day storylines. With Cavill’s character being an immortal who has lived for centuries, it may even be possible for audiences to get a chance to see him fighting in the 1980s at the height of Queen’s original popularity.
