Actor Henry Cavill, known for his roles in ‘The Witcher’ and as Superman in the ‘Man of Steel’ franchise, has suffered an injury during pre-production for the upcoming ‘Highlander’ film remake. The British actor was injured just days before the start of filming, pushing back the production schedule. The movie, a reboot of the 1986 fantasy-action classic, will now begin filming in 2026. The cast includes Russell Crowe, Karen Gillan, and Dave Bautista. Directed by Chad Stahelski, the ‘Highlander’ reboot is based on the original movie, which told the story of an immortal battle between warriors. Cavill, 42, had been training extensively for the role of the immortal hero and had previously spoken about his excitement for the swordsmanship required for the character. However, details of the injury have not been disclosed. Fans are now left waiting longer for the new iteration of this cult classic.
