Highlander Reboot Starring Henry Cavill Begins Filming in London

Director Chad Stahelski, known for the John Wick franchise, is preparing to shoot a Highlander reboot starring Henry Cavill as Connor MacLeod, with production set to begin in mid-September in London. The reboot, now under Amazon MGM Studios after moving from Lionsgate, plans to blend elements from the original 1986 film and the subsequent TV series, promising a mix of action and mythology with iconic Queen music featured. While no other cast members have been announced, the project has been in development since 2016, with Cavill confirmed in 2021. The Highlander franchise centers on immortal warriors battling through centuries, with the tagline 'there can be only one.' The film is expected to have a release date around 2027 or 2028. Alongside Stahelski's excitement about the shoot, the film aims to explore the character's 500-year journey and bring a fresh narrative twist to the legend.
