\n\tHenry Cavill<\/a> has sustained an injury while preparing for the Amazon MGM remake of \u201cHighlander<\/a>,\u201d which will delay production on the Chad Stahelski-directed film likely until early 2026, Variety has confirmed.<\/p>\n

\n\tCavill\u2019s costars include Russell Crowe, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, Dave Bautista, Marisa Abela and Max Zhang. Stahelski (the \u201cJohn Wick\u201d franchise) is directing from a script by Michael Finch. (Ryan J. Condal and Kerry Williamson worked on earlier drafts of the film.)<\/p>\n

\n\tThe original 1986 cult classic, starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery, chronicles the lives of immortal warriors, spanning from the highlands of Scotland in the 16th century to the concrete jungle of Manhattan in the \u201880s. While initially a box office failure, the film generated a devoted fandom via home video, and Lambert and Connery returned for a sequel in 1991. The franchise continued through more sequels, TV series and spin-off novels.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new fremake has been nearly as immortal, at least in Hollywood years, incubating first in 2009<\/a> at Summit Entertainment under producer Neal H. Moritz. Stahelski boarded<\/a> the production in 2016, and Cavill signed on in 2021<\/a> to play the Lambert role, MacLeod. Then United Artists, under its new chief Scott Stuber, acquired the project from Lionsgate earlier this year. Stuber and Moritz are producing alongside Nick Nesbitt, Josh Davis, Louise Rosner and Stahelski\u2019s production banner, 87Eleven Entertainment.<\/p>\n

\n\tCavill\u2019s slate has been as busy as ever, with the mystery sequel \u201cEnola Holmes 3\u201d for Netflix, another \u201980s adaptation \u201cVoltron\u201d for Amazon MGM and the action thriller \u201cIn the Grey\u201d for Lionsgate all in the can.<\/p>\n
