Drew McIntyre was spotted on the set of the new Highlander movie in Scotland on April 16, 2026. The 40-year-old wrestler will portray his brother Angus in this highly anticipated reboot. It’s a role he seems born to play—”It’s the part I was born to play baby,” he said with enthusiasm.
While filming in his home country, McIntyre is also gearing up for an unsanctioned match against Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania. This event is expected to draw around 50,000 fans to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas over two nights.
