Actor Henry Cavill provides an insight into his leg injury sustained on the set of 'Highlander'
The much-anticipated reboot of the 1986 cult fantasy-adventure film, Highlander, is set to take a slight detour. Actor Henry Cavill, who is set to star in the reimagined classic, has sustained an injury during training, causing a delay in the movie's production.
Cavill shared an update about his injury on Instagram on September 19, but details of the incident remain under wraps. This setback is likely to push the production timeline to early 2026, according to reports.
The Highlander reboot, which is still in pre-production, is being developed by Amazon MGM Studios. The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, featuring Russell Crowe, Dave Bautista, Marisa Abela, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, and Max Zhang.
Henry Cavill had a busy 2024, with appearances in Argylle, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, and a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine. Despite this, he has been fully committed to preparing for his role in the Highlander reboot, promising a new level of swordplay in the film.
Cavill and the filmmakers have been delving deep into the characters for the reboot, ensuring a faithful adaptation of the original while bringing a fresh perspective to the beloved story. Director Chad Stahelski, known for his work on the John Wick series, is leading the production company involved in the new Highlander reboot.
Beyond Highlander, Cavill has several other projects lined up, including In the Grey with director Guy Ritchie. The anticipation remains high for Cavill's take on the Highlander legacy, a story that first captured audiences nearly four decades ago.
Henry Cavill first spoke about the Highlander project at CinemaCon in 2024, igniting excitement among fans of the original film. As we wait for more updates on the production, we can only speculate on what the future holds for this iconic franchise.
