Henry Cavill Injury Delays Highlander to 2026

Henry Cavill sustained a leg injury during pre-production training for Chad Stahelski’s Highlander reboot and posted Instagram photos showing him in a boot undergoing physical therapy, captioned “Endure. In enduring, grow strong.” The injury has pushed the Amazon MGM/United Artists production back, with filming now expected to start in early 2026. Cavill has resumed training and rehabilitation and appears committed to returning to sword-ready shape. The reboot features a star ensemble including Russell Crowe, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, Dave Bautista, Marisa Abela, Max Zhang and Jeremy Irons and is scripted by Michael Finch. Producers include Scott Stuber, Neal H. Moritz and Stahelski’s 87Eleven alongside Amazon MGM/United Artists, and the film revisits the 1986 franchise about immortal warriors.
