SciFiWire reports that McKidd may be the next Highlander.
Summit Entertainment intends to revamp the Highlander franchise with a new film, and will most likely be returning to medieval Scotland.
As a huge fan of last year’s Journeyman (which was cancelled much too soon), I would love to see Kevin McKidd as MacLeod. And that McKidd is Scottish is another bonus. After The Source, I was afraid the franchise would lay dormant for a while. As much as I loved the first Highlander movie, as well as the TV series, I do think it’s time for a revamp.

Can we just pretend The Source never happened? *Ugh* that thing was terrible.
Kevin McKidd is a terrific choice for Highlander, I hope he takes the deal.

I totally agree. Let’s revisit the concept a little too, freshen it up slightly (not a lot) and totally forget the last couple of films. The Source was horrid.

He would be an interesting choice. I loved Journeyman, sucks that it wasn’t given a good chance.
