Here’s the latest on Henry Cavill and Highlander as of now.
- Production timeline: Reports in 2025 indicated Cavill’s training injury for the Highlander remake could push filming into 2026, with pre-production delays noted by several outlets. This suggests a postponement rather than cancellation, aiming for a late 2025 or 2026 resume depending on recovery and scheduling.[1][2][3][4]
- Injury updates: Cavill reportedly suffered a leg injury during prep, which contributed to the delay of pre-production and start of principal photography. He was later photographed/tracked returning to gym activities as he recovered, reinforcing a 2026 production window in some coverage.[2][1]
- Cast and development context: The project is Chad Stahelski’s Highlander remake for Amazon MGM, with Cavill attached to star alongside other announced cast members. Shifts in production companies and release timing have been reported as the project evolves, but a 2026 production date remained a recurring theme in coverage.[3][5][1]
- Public-facing updates: There have been intermittent updates from entertainment outlets about Cavill’s recovery and ongoing preparation, with first-look material and set imagery surfacing later in 2025 and early 2026 as filming plans firmed up.[9][10][2]
