Highlander Reboot with Henry Cavill Pushed to 2026

A major setback for one of the most anticipated fantasy projects: Filming for the "Highlander" reboot starring Henry Cavill has been postponed following an injury to the lead actor. Fans will now have to wait longer.

The world of the immortals has been put on hold. The eagerly awaited reboot of the cult fantasy classic "Highlander," directed by "John Wick" creator Chad Stahelski, is facing a significant delay. According to industry magazine Deadline, lead actor Henry Cavill was injured during intensive training preparations.

Originally scheduled to begin in the fall of 2025, production now has to be moved to early 2026. This unforeseen pause pushes the project, which has been in development for years, back even further and puts the planned 2027 release date at risk. For fans of the epic sword fights, this marks another test of patience.

The production under Stahelski promises to breathe new life into the franchise, supported by a top-tier cast that includes Russell Crowe and Karen Gillan. Despite the setback, hopes remain high that the additional time will be used to create an even better fantasy experience.

To bridge the extended waiting period and feel like an immortal right now, fans can hold the legendary blades of the MacLeod clan themselves. The iconic swords from the "Highlander" universe are a must-have for any collector.
