Highlander is an upcoming movie starring Henry Cavill and directed by Chad Stahelski, who did all of the John Wick movies. Described as “John Wick with swords”, Highlander currently has a 2026 release window.
We don’t normally cover feature films or other projects of Witcher actors, but having swordfighting, medieval setting, coming from Chad Stahelski and described as “John Wick with swords”, Highlander seems rather interesting.
Highlander to start filming in 2025

We’ve learned that Highlander is currently planned to begin filming Q1 2025. Filming locations will include Scotland, Italy and Hong Kong. This is a slight delay as the previous planned date was July 2024 according to Cavill himself. In any case, all planned filming dates are always tentative and change all the time, so this is nothing unusual.
Sword training for the movie already started earlier this year as Henry Cavill teased it during one of the press junkets: “If you think you’ve seen me do sword work before, you haven’t seen anything yet.”
Both Cavill and Stahelski remained very tight-lipped about the plot of Highlander, but said that they were “going deep into the meaning of these characters, their trials and tribulations.”
Stahelski also commented: “Our story engages a lot of the same characters and stuff like that. But we’ve also brought in elements of all the TV shows, and we’re trying to do a bit of a prequel, a setup to The Gathering, so we have room to grow the property.”
Another piece of information is that Michael Fassbender is rumored to be in talks so star in Highlander as a Mongol Warrior, which could be Senghi Khan, an immortal from Mongolia. This hasn’t been confirmed, despite being rumored for months, so take it with a grain of salt.
Chad Stahelski’s Highlander is due out in 2026 according to Lionstage chairman Joe Drake.
