Due to the actor’s injury sustained during training, the production of the Henry Cavill movie Highlander is probably going to be postponed. Henry plays the title character of MacLeod in the next picture from Amazon, MGM’s United Artists division, which is directed by Chad Stahelski of John Wick.
Russell Crowe plays Ramirez, while Dave Bautista plays the barbaric warrior known as The Kurgen. The entertainment news site Deadline claims that Henry suffered an injury while preparing for the movie in pre-production. The production, which was supposed to start by the end of this year, is therefore being postponed until 2026.
Christopher Lambert played Connor MacLeod, a Medieval Scottish Highlander who learns he is an immortal warrior, in the 1986 release of the first Highlander movie.
The title Highlander fights other immortals over the ages with the aid of a swordsman named Ramirez (Sean Connery), leading to a contemporary conflict where, as the famous dialogue goes, “there can be only one.”
Along with Neal H. Moritz, Stahelski’s 87Eleven Entertainment, Josh Davis of Davis Panzer Productions, and Louise Rosner, Scott Stuber and Nick Nesbitt are producing the new version of Highlander. The film’s script was written by Michael Finch.
