As a die-hard fan of action fantasies, I can’t contain my excitement about the imminent revival of the cherished Highlander franchise. In an exclusive interview with George Edelman from MovieWeb, the director has revealed that the Highlander reboot, featuring the legendary actor who once donned the cape as Superman, is his next venture. The immortal warrior will now be brought to life by this iconic figure, and I can hardly wait!
My focus is on the John Wick universe, blending elements that resonate with me into a harmonious blend. True progress occurs later, when I can examine my errors and areas for improvement, learn from them, and incorporate new ideas that life presents. For instance, visiting New York for a week to scout locations for Highlander…that’s the project I’m tackling next. At present, I’m immersed in this kind of creative process.
‘Highlander’ Finds Henry Cavill in the Lead as a 500-Year-Old Martial Arts Expert
In the upcoming remake of Highlander, the storyline is anticipated to echo the 1986 classic, revolving around Connor MacLeod, a swordsman who learns he’s one of several immortal warriors that can only be defeated by decapitation. Over time, MacLeod manages to live harmoniously for centuries until settling in New York City. Yet, his peaceful existence is disrupted when his arch-nemesis resurfaces with the intention of killing him to claim “the Prize.” The reboot will introduce some alterations to the plot, as director Stahelski hints that Cavill’s immortal character will be portrayed as a 500-year-old martial arts master.
We’re moving this story from the Scottish Highlands during the early 1500s to modern-day New York City and Hong Kong, and exploring its journey. There’s a great potential for exciting developments. This role provides an uncommon opportunity, and it’s not just a typical love story; it has a unique twist. Working on John Wick taught me valuable lessons about bending the narrative in creative ways… another type of mythical tale.
My main selling point was, to Henry Cavill, here’s an intriguing aspect: You have a character who has lived for more than five centuries. He’s the one individual on Earth who didn’t want to be in this predicament. This offers a wide range of character development possibilities. Additionally, you get to witness a person who has honed his skills over 500 years and dabbled in various martial arts.
2026 marks the anticipated release date for “Highlander.” On the other hand, the “John Wick” series will expand with the upcoming spin-off titled “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina” in the coming month. Additionally, a documentary called “Wick Is Pain” is set to be released digitally on May 9.
