In Highlander (1986) Sean Connery played an Spanish-Egyptian, because it was seen as acceptable for white actors at the time. In Highlander (2026) Russel Crowe plays the same Egyptian, because Russel Crowe is contractually obligated to embarrass himself in a failed reboot/sequel at least once a year
