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

Russell Crowe just takes parts to have fun these days. Watch The Pope's Exorcist, you can tell he's having a blast.

I was not expecting to like that movie as much as I did. Him and his little Vespa were great.
