Highlander (Remake) is a modern day reimagining of the original Highlander, which was released in 1986. A Highlander reboot seems finally to have a script (2018) and Lionsgate is apparently moving forward with the movie for some reason. The project has been in development for nearly a decade. After years in development hell, it looks like this movie may finally, inch toward actually filming. Lionsgate has yet to set a release date for the Highlander reboot.
Chad Stahelski was announced as a new director of the reboot which has been described to be John Wick with swords with the reboot planned as a possible trilogy. As of May 2020, the filming for the remake had not yet begun. In May 2021, Henry Cavill was confirmed to play the lead role in the film, although his exact character was unknown. In October 2023, Lionsgate was moving forward with the reboot, with Cavill starring as MacLeod and Stahelski directing from a screenplay by Mike Finch.
The project is expected to begin filming in early 2026.
