Henry Cavill’s &#8216;Highlander&#8217; Reboot Will Be a Fervent Tribute to the Immortal Legacy of the Original &#8216;Highlander&#8217;, Reveals Director

The world attests to the caliber of Henry Cavill
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/]as an actor. From his debut as
Man of Steel in 2013 to his dive into the magical realm of the fantasy genre in
The Witcher [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/] series, the star
has consistently demonstrated his love for the supernatural genre. Now, further
adding to his list of blockbuster movies is another masterpiece in the making as
Henry Cavill gets his name attached to Connor MacLeod.

Much like how Cavill seems to be on a rampage with his fantasy projects, Chad
Stahelski seems to be on the bandwagon of delivering updates about the new
Highlander reboot.


HENRY CAVILL AND HIS HIGHLANDER REBOOT WILL REMAIN LOYAL TO THE ORIGINAL IN THIS
WAY

After seven years of waiting and hoping for updates on the development of the
Highlander reboot starring Henry Cavill, fans have finally received some
positive news. In an interview with Screen Rant, Chad Stahelski talked

about his vision for the Highlander reboot. The director revealed that his love
for the original is what drove him to join the franchise in the first place. He
plans to use the features that worked in the first movie, such as the “ancillary
stuff” for the reboot.

Apart from the ancillary stuff, the director also plans to dip his fingers into
the mythology of the original. Ultimately, he is not planning to curb the plot
of its reboot. This is further proved by the confirmation of Henry Cavill as a
lead. Stahelski seems to have secured success to some level with Cavill’s
casting. However, the movie remains his most ambitious effort to date

While the Highlander reboot given the actor and the original attached to it may
be one of the most anticipated projects Chad Stahelski has in the pipeline, it
is not the only one.


CHAD STAHELSKI TO DIRECT THE FILM ADAPTATION OF THIS JAPANESE GAME

Ghost of Tsushima, an action-packed adventure game from Sucker Punch
Productions, was released in 2020. This Japanese game reached Hollywood heights
when Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions announced in March 2021 that they
would make a film of the same name. While PlayStation has produced some
fantastic games, the recent decade has seen the birth of an era of tremendously
cinematic video games. To add to the intrigue, John Wick director Chad Stahelski
is tapped to direct and produce the film.

In the interview with Screen Rant, the filmmaker provided a very encouraging
update about the film. He revealed that the script was finally complete after a
two-year delay. Further, expanding on his update, he said that the creative team
is “very close to getting our s**t together.” The director also conceded that
they are now waiting for the strikes to stop entirely before proceeding with any
of the developments.
