In early August 2026, actor Russell Crowe used Instagram to showcase a dramatic physique transformation while training with former WWE champion Drew McIntyre on the set of the historical action drama The Last Druid, which is being filmed in Spain. The initial post highlighted his enlarged biceps and served to promote both the upcoming film and a forthcoming Highlander reboot slated for 2027-2028, mentioning the film’s cast and director.

A follow-up post a few days later added further details about the production schedule, noting that filming has been underway in Spain since May and listing additional cast members such as Rose Leslie, Andreas Pietschmann, Daniel Zovatto and Crowe’s son Tennyson. The caption emphasized the motivation provided by the “long sweaty days in the beautiful Spanish sunshine,” and the post attracted significant fan engagement, underscoring Crowe’s fitness routine as a key element of the films’ publicity strategy.

By August 9, it was noted that Crowe and McIntyre had previously worked together on the Highlander remake starring Henry Cavill. Details regarding the plot of The Last Druid emerged, describing Crowe as a peaceful Celtic elder defending his community against a Roman Emperor in the mountains of Caledonia. Following the recent completion of filming in Spain, Crowe’s social media presence has focused on his commitment to physical consistency and health to prepare for the role.
