The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Would you like to see Highlander type immortals in the Dresdenverse?

Seconded.

The third movie has a bunch of immortals that had been magically trapped getting freed, which somehow resumes The Gathering.
Then the series introduces the idea that more are born all the time, but that they only get immortality if they die a violent death.

I vaguely remember the third one, and that it was better than the second because it wasn't the second. It also had the magic casters, which was another oddity.
I recall only liking the first movie and the series. I don't know that I liked the Duncan movies either. I may have fallen asleep during The Source.
But I did hear a rumor that they're rebooting Highlander and potentially bringing Connor back. I guess we'll see, because it apparently sounded like a good idea every other time, too. Saving grace is that it's the director of John Wick that's pushing for it, so it might work.

In my opinion the first movie was alright. The Duncan movies were absolute garbage. The TV show was awesome until they decided to go off the rails, and kill Richie and change the tone of the entire series. I stopped watching it after that.
The original concept was cool...
The 4 horsemen that started the legend per Highlander the series
Rasins:
Assuming you take the first movie as Cannon, then they are born, are killed and come back. Assuming the killing doesn't occur by losing one's head.
What I assumed, based on the second movie was, that they were all thrown from their own world and "deposited" into ours at different points in the timeline, through birth.
Now the second movie had some of the others just teleported here as they were, but that doesn't jive with Connor not remembering anything prior to his Scottish life.
I enjoyed the TV show, but didn't really follow it closely.
I'd welcome a reboot if they come up with, but not necessarily reveal in the first movie, the origins and reasons for the powers (the Quickening).

The director dude all but said they'd only be working from the first movie, and ignoring everything else. Kind of like Jurassic World ignoring the other two and just continuing from the first.
