www.gamesradar.comHere’s the latest on Henry Cavill and Highlander based on recent reporting.
- Production delays: Cavill’s injury during pre-production injuries reportedly pushed Highlander’s filming into 2026, with initial reports suggesting a delay into early 2026 and later updates reaffirming a 2026 timeline. This shift has been tied to the on-set training and related prep work Cavill was undertaking for the role.[1][4][6]
- Cast and production status: The project continues with Chad Stahelski directing, and Cavill in the lead role, alongside a high-profile ensemble that has included Russell Crowe, Karen Gillan, Dave Bautista, Djimon Hounsou, and others as part of the broader casting news that followed the official reveal of Cavill’s involvement.[4][1]
- Public updates: Since the initial injury news, outlets have carried follow-ups about recovery timelines and adjusted shooting calendars, with some outlets noting a return-to-work window for Cavill in 2026 as production resumes or accelerates depending on his recovery progress.[6][7]
Illustrative takeaway: expect Highlander to remain in development for 2026 delivery, contingent on Cavill’s recovery and scheduling with Stahelski’s production plan.
