Henry Cavill Will Play a 500-Year-Old Martial Artist In New Action-Heavy 'Highlander

Chad Stahelski, director of John Wick, is helming a Highlander reboot starring Henry Cavill as an immortal warrior who has lived for over 500 years. The film, set in modern-day New York and Hong Kong, will update the franchise's classic story, drawing inspiration from previous films and the television series, while also introducing new elements. Cavill's character arc will span centuries and explore themes of love and loss within the context of the immortal conflict. Stahelski aims to begin filming in Spring 2025, with a 2026 release date planned. The reboot seeks to expand the Highlander universe while remaining faithful to the original concept of "there can be only one."
