Is Ryan Reynolds The "One"?

Ryan Reynolds is now the front-runner to star in Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's remake of the cult classic Highlander  reports Variety.



In "Highlander", after centuries of dueling to survive against others like him, Connor MacLeod, an immortal Scottish swordsman must confront the last of his kind, a murderously brutal barbarian, who lusts for the fabled Prize

"Iron Man" scribes, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway penned the script which goes back to the original film franchise roots. Melissa Rosenberg reportedly gave the script a polish.

Both sides are reportedly in talks and want to work together, still Reynolds is weighing other offers.

Neal Moritz and Peter Davis are producing.

With Deadpool delayed, Reynolds needs another franchise and would make a good fit action wise but could he pull off the Scottish heritage?
