Mel Gibson starts filming Braveheart 2: the true story of 12-year-old girl fending off predatory migrants
Mel Gibson has reportedly set his sights on Dundee, Scotland, for the filming of “Braveheart 2: The Return of the Kilt.” Sources close to the production claim that Gibson, ever the method actor, was inspired by a recent viral video of a 14-year-old girl wielding a knife in self-defense against a would-be assailant. “It’s the perfect modern-day allegory for William Wallace’s struggle,” Gibson allegedly said, his eyes gleaming with the kind of intensity that made us all believe he could single-handedly defeat an army of English longbowmen.
The storyline, as pitched by Gibson himself, is a masterpiece of anachronistic genius. Our heroine, a plucky Scottish lass named Morag McKnife (a name that Gibson insists is “authentically Scottish”), finds herself in a modern-day skirmish with a migrant who, according to the script, “wants to assault her.” Morag, armed with a kitchen knife and the spirit of William Wallace, stands her ground, shouting, “They may take our lives, but they’ll never take our right to self-defense!” The scene, filmed on a grassy knoll overlooking a bus stop, is set to be the emotional climax of the film, complete with a slow-motion shot of Morag’s hair flowing in the wind as she brandishes her weapon.
Gibson, who will direct and star as a spectral William Wallace offering sage advice from beyond the grave, has promised that this sequel will be “more historically accurate than the first one.” When asked about the historical inaccuracies of the original “Braveheart,” such as the depiction of kilts centuries before they were worn and the romanticization of Wallace’s life, Gibson waved it off. “Details, schmetails,” he reportedly said. “This time, we’re focusing on the real issues—like immigration policy and the Scottish legal system.”
The production has not been without controversy. Local authorities in Dundee are reportedly less than thrilled about Gibson’s plan to recreate the infamous “Freedom!” speech on the steps of the police station where Morag was arrested. “We don’t need Hollywood glamorizing vigilante justice,” said a spokesperson for Police Scotland, who then added, “But if he wants to pay for the overtime, we won’t say no.”

Casting calls have been issued for “authentic Scottish extras,” with a preference for those who can “look menacing but also slightly confused.” The role of the migrant assailant has yet to be cast, but rumors suggest Gibson is considering a CGI-rendered version of himself from his “Mad Max” days, complete with a leather jacket and a chainsaw. “It’s symbolic,” Gibson explained. “The chainsaw represents the cutting edge of modern immigration debates.”
Financing for the film has been a bit of a challenge, with Gibson reportedly pitching it to streaming services as “a crossover between ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘The Office.'” Netflix passed, citing concerns over the “lack of dragons and paper salesmen,” but Amazon Prime is said to be interested, provided Gibson can work in a scene where Morag orders a knife on Prime Now.
Critics are already sharpening their pens, ready to skewer the film for its perceived political undertones. “It’s Gibson’s latest attempt to stir the pot,” said one film historian. “But let’s be honest, if anyone can turn a knife-wielding teenager into a national hero, it’s Mel Gibson.”
As filming begins, fans of the original “Braveheart” are divided. Some see it as a nostalgic return to form, while others worry it’s just another excuse for Gibson to yell loudly and wave a sword around. Either way, one thing is certain: Dundee will never be the same, and neither will our understanding of historical epics.
Stay tuned for the trailer, which promises to feature bagpipes, slow-motion knife throws, and Gibson’s trademark shout of “Freedom!”—this time, with a Scottish accent so thick you could spread it on a scone.
