Considering where this franchise went I could see this happening.
Highlander is a cult classic movie that maybe should have never been a franchise. Only one of the three TV series made gets any praise while the others are a convoluted mess with a continuity that makes little if any sense and contradicts itself like a Geoff Johns series. Sticking to the live-action American theatrical films and ignoring the anime and TV shows when he can, Slade Hale at Bounding Into Comics goes over each of the Highlander sequel movies and explains why they failed.
