Get ready to raise your swords—'Highlander' is making a comeback! The iconic fantasy action saga, famous for its epic battles and immortals, is on the way.
The ‘Highlander’ reboot starring Henry Cavill has officially taken a major step forward, with director Chad Stahelski confirming that production is set to begin in September 2025. Known for reinventing action cinema with the ‘John Wick’ franchise, Stahelski is now turning his attention to revitalising the legendary saga of immortals, this time under the banner of Amazon MGM Studios after its initial development at Lionsgate.
In a recent interview, Stahelski shared that the film is currently in active pre-production, with cameras scheduled to roll in mid-September, starting in London. While casting beyond Cavill remains unannounced and plot details are being kept tightly under wraps, the director hinted that the reboot will draw inspiration from both the original film series and the cult-favorite television adaptations, blending iconic characters and lore to craft a modern retelling.

What is ‘Highlander’ about?
Originally launched in 1986, ‘Highlander’ introduced audiences to Russell Nash, an immortal swordsman living in New York City, portrayed by Christopher Lambert. The film’s mythos, which follows a secret war among immortals over centuries, became a cornerstone of fantasy cinema, spawning multiple sequels and spin-off series.
Stahelski has previously suggested that if all goes according to plan, the new ‘Highlander’ could debut in theatres by 2027 or 2028. With Henry Cavill leading the charge and a proven action director at the helm, anticipation is building for a fresh chapter in the ‘Highlander’ franchise that promises to honour its legacy while bringing a bold new energy to the world of immortals.
