“John Wick” franchise filmmaker Chad Stahelski is gearing up to film his “Highlander” reboot in Spring 2025 in Scotland, with the film’s star Henry Cavill having spent a good portion of this year training for the role. Speaking to as part of tenth anniversary celebrations of the Wick franchise, Stahelski offered some new details about his “Highlander” reboot which will look to span a longer period of time than the original. It also will be more globe-trotting with locations shirting to Asia and America at points.
Stahelski says: “We’re bringing it forward from the early 1500s in the highlands to the beyond present-day New York and Hong Kong, and seeing how it goes. There’s big opportunity for action. There’s a chance to play a character that not a lot of people get to play.
And it’s a bit of a love story, but not how you think. On ‘John Wick,’ I learned a lot on how to bend the storytelling a little..
. another kind of myth.” Stahelski then goes on to explain how he pitched the project to Cavill and the uniqueness of the role being one of its draws: “My selling point was, to [Henry Cavill], look, you’ve got a guy that’s been alive for over 500 years.
He’s the last person in the world that wanted to be in this situation. So you get to cover quite a broad spread of a character arc there. And you get to experience someone that’s trained over 500 years and sort of played [with many types of] martial arts.
” “Highlander” is expected in cinemas sometime in 2026..
