HIGHLANDER Movie Preview (2026) Reboot Starring Henry Cavill
“I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. The year is 2330 and I am immortal.”
Prepare yourself for a new era of sword fights and epic battles as the Highlander franchise makes a comeback with a 2026 reboot, starring Henry Cavill as the legendary Connor MacLeod. Directed by Chad Stahelski, known for his work on John Wick: Chapter 4, the film is set to begin production in January next year in Scotland, promising a visual and action-packed spectacle.
In this highly anticipated reboot, Henry Cavill steps into the iconic role originally portrayed by Christopher Lambert in the 1986 cult classic. The original film, which also featured Sean Connery as the enigmatic Ramirez, introduced audiences to the gripping saga of immortals battling for the ultimate prize, with the famous line, “There can be only one.”
The 1986 Highlander movie gained a significant following and spawned two sequels and a TV series centered on Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul), Connor’s cousin. The franchise concluded its TV run with Highlander: Endgame and saw a final film, Highlander: The Source (2007), which did not have a theatrical release in North America.
One of the standout features of the original Highlander film was its score, composed by the legendary band Queen. The soundtrack’s unique blend of rock and orchestral elements became synonymous with the film’s dynamic and mystical atmosphere. As the reboot takes shape, it will have the formidable task of living up to the original’s iconic musical legacy.
Fans of the franchise are eagerly hoping for a cameo from Christopher Lambert, whose portrayal of Connor MacLeod became legendary. With the reboot set to deliver spectacular action scenes and sword fights, it’s the perfect time to revisit the original Highlander in 4K and Dolby Atmos sound to relive the magic and prepare for the new chapter.
Get ready for an exhilarating ride as Highlander makes its return to the big screen, bringing the timeless battle of immortals back to life with a fresh twist and an all-new hero
