Henry Cavill<\/span><\/strong> made headlines after sustaining an injury while preparing for his next major project. The actor was in training for the upcoming Highlander remake<\/strong> when the incident occurred, leading to a shift in the film\u2019s production timeline.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what we know about the setback, the project\u2019s new schedule, and the team involved in the reboot.<\/p>\n Henry Cavill sustained an unspecified injury during training for Amazon MGM Studios\u2019 Highlander remake.<\/strong><\/p>\n According to Deadline<\/a>, the 42-year-old actor prepared for the Chad Stahelski-directed project when he sustained the injury during pre-production. The incident pushed back the start of filming, with production now set to begin in early 2026 instead of fall 2025.<\/p>\n Highlander remakes the 1986 fantasy-adventure film that starred Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery. The new version casts Cavill as Connor MacLeod, joining Russell Crowe, Dave Bautista, Marisa Abela, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, and Max Zhang.<\/p>\n Producers include Scott Stuber, Nick Nesbitt, Neal H. Moritz, Josh Davis, Louise Rosner, and Stahelski\u2019s 87Eleven Entertainment. Amazon MGM Studios and United Artists secured the rights from Lionsgate, with plans to develop a potential series. The original Highlander, directed by Russell Mulcahy, led to multiple sequels and a popular TV show following its 1986 release. The release window for the remake remains unconfirmed, though Stahelski has previously suggested a potential date in 2027 or 2028.<\/p>\n Cavill teased the project at CinemaCon in 2024, telling audiences, \u201cIf you thought you\u2019d seen me do sword work before, you haven\u2019t seen anything yet\u201d (via Deadline<\/a>). The actor drew comparisons to his earlier fantasy-action work, particularly The Witcher, noting that the filmmakers were \u201cgoing deep into these characters.\u201d<\/p>\n Besides Highlander, Cavill will appear in Enola Holmes 3, Voltron, and In the Grey. He starred in Deadpool and Wolverine, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, and Argylle in 2024.<\/p>\n The post Henry Cavill Gets Injured During Highlander Remake<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Henry Cavill made headlines after sustaining an injury while preparing for his next major project.
