Henry Cavill is set to star as Connor MacLeod in the highly anticipated Highlander reboot, which is currently filming in Scotland. Directed by Chad Stahelski, known for his work on the John Wick series, this reboot aims to bring a fresh perspective to the beloved franchise.

Immediate Circumstances

The original Highlander film, released in 1986, introduced audiences to Connor MacLeod, an immortal warrior navigating a world of conflict and destiny. The reboot features an all-star cast, including Russell Crowe and Karen Gillan, and is produced by Amazon MGM Studios. While filming is underway, the release date for the reboot has not yet been announced.

The Highlander franchise has expanded over the years to include sequels, spin-offs, novels, comics, and video games, solidifying its place in pop culture. The original script by Gregory Widen is being adapted into a comic book titled ‘Highlander: The Original Screenplay’, which is set for release on November 17, 2026. This adaptation aims to provide fans with a new way to experience the epic adventure.

Reactions and Statements

Jonathan Wilkins, involved in the comic adaptation, stated, “For the first time, readers will be able to experience this epic adventure set across the centuries.” As excitement builds around the reboot, many are eager to see how the story of Connor MacLeod will unfold on screen. Filming recently began in Scotland, and it will certainly be interesting to see what changes were made as Widen’s original idea went from page to screen.
