If you thought you’d seen me do sword work before, you haven’t seen anything yet.”
Such were Henry Cavill‘s promises about the new Highlander movie he’s doing with Lionsgate and John Wick director Chad Stahelski, as the star made an appearance Wednesday at the studio’s CinemaCon sessions in Las Vegas.
But there was more. The actor’s new movie due in 2025 with Jake Gyllenhaal and Eiza González, directed by Guy Ritchie, got a title: In the Grey.
The pic centers a group of gunmen who, when billions are stolen, steal them back. The trailer kicks off with a kick-ass sting by Gyllenhaal, Cavill and González in the skinny streets of Europe.
Cavill also stars in Ritchie’s upcoming The Minstry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, about the UK’s recruiting of a small group of highly skilled soldiers to strike against German forces behind enemy lines during World War II — one of them being 007 author Ian Fleming, played by Freddie Fox. The movie comes out April 19.
Cavill onstage said of real-life ministry “were quite extraordinary … to have characters like that who were able to change the course of the war.” He had never heard about the group before.
Of working with Gyllenhaal, he said, “Jake is not only an incredible talent but what a wonderful man. I’m hoping we may see both of us on screen more often.”
Of Ritchie, the Superman actor said, “He creates a wonderful environment on set” offering plenty of “creative freedom.”
Sometimes people say a film set is like family, “and to a degree is is, but not necessarily the family you want to keep hanging out with all the time. In Guy’s case it is,” Cavill said “There is a shorthand and a freedom of friendship.”
Cavill expanded on Highlander: “I’m a lover of the original movies, for better or for worse, and it’s one of those things where when I was reading the script for the first time I wasn’t quite too sure where they were going to go with it.”
The first few movies, he said, “touched on the lore … but my goodness me oh my, we are going deep into these characters.”
