Unfortunately Henry Cavill was injured during production of the Highlander remake, so filming has been postponed to 2026.

We hear that Henry Cavill was injured during pre-production while training for Amazon MGM Studios’ United Artists Highlander set. As a result, production will be delayed on the Chad Stahelski directed reboot of the cult IP until likely top of next year.

The Michael Finch penned movie also stars Russell Crowe, Marisa Abela, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, Dave Bautista and Max Zhang.

Producers include UA’s Scott Stuber and Nick Nesbitt alongside Neal H. Moritz, Stahelski’s banner 87Eleven Entertainment, Josh Davis of Davis Panzer Productions, and Louise Rosner.

The original 1986 Highlander starred Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery and portrayed the climax of an ancient battle between immortal warriors that unfolded through interwoven past and present-day storylines. The movie gained a huge following during the 1980s home video era, spawning multiple sequels, a beloved TV series, and an enduring fanbase. The first movie was directed by Russell Mulcahy and produced by Peter S. Davis and William N. Panzer.

Cavill, is repped by WME, and Sloane, Offer, Weber and Dern. The actor has several movies in post such as Rawson Marshall Thurber’s Voltron, Guy Ritchie’s In the Grey and Netflix’s Enola Holmes 3. Cavill starred in three movies last year: Disney/Marvel Studios’ Deadpool and Wolverine, Lionsgate’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and Apple Original Films’ Argylle.
