Henry Cavill Confirms Highlander Reboot: Get Ready for an Epic Immortal Showdown!

Henry Cavill reassures fans that the highly-anticipated Highlander reboot is still in the works, promising a thrilling cinematic experience. Set for a targeted 2026 release, Cavill has been committed to the project for five years, and as he gears up for intensive training, he hints at an intense and action-packed portrayal.

In a recent interview with ComicBook.com during the promotion of his new film Argylle, Cavill tantalizingly described his approach to the role as “a serious ride.” Despite beginning his physical preparation for the film, the actor remains tight-lipped about specific details, adding an air of mystery to the upcoming Highlander adaptation.

“I’m not going to answer that just yet,” Cavill coyly remarked when pressed for more information. “There’s a lot of work to be done yet on my part. It’s going to be a serious ride, I’ll tell you that much.”

Highlander revolves around a 16th Century Scottish immortal, a chosen one-style swordsman engaged in a centuries-old conflict with other immortals. Originally released in 1986, the franchise has expanded into three sequels, a TV movie, three TV series, and an anime film, accompanied by comics, web animations, and merchandise.

The original movie, featuring Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, and Clancy Brown, left a lasting legacy. The reboot, led by Henry Cavill since 2021 and directed by Chad Stahelski (John Wick), is expected to delve deeper into the rich mythology of the Highlander universe.

“I’ve worked on Highlander for years now, for Henry Cavill. Being retroactive is hard,” Stahelski reflected last March. “What’s different between Wick and that? With Wick, you weren’t serving seven seasons of TV plus two spinoffs plus five films. If I were to do a remake of Highlander right now, you’d expect a lot of mythology in those first two hours; you couldn’t explore stuff without it.”
