As a consequence, manufacturing on the Amazon MGM Studios flick will seemingly be delayed until early 2026 reasonably than later this 12 months, the outlet reported.
The Post has reached out to Cavill’s reps and Amazon MGM Studios for remark.
Set to star Cavill, Russell Crowe, Dave Bautista, Marisa Abela, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou and Max Zhang, the new “Highlander” flick comes almost 40 years after the unique premiered back in 1986.

The initial action-fantasy movie noticed Christopher Lambert painting Connor MacLeod, an immortal Scottish swordsman who battles against an immortal Egyptian warrior named Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez (Sean Connery) across 4 centuries.
After exploding in recognition as a cult traditional, “Highlander” spawned a number of sequels and a TV collection that aired for six seasons from 1992 to 1997.
Although the reboot was not announced until June 2021, director Chad Stahelski mentioned his plans for a “Highlander” remake as far back as May 2019.

“Luckily, the studio is really behind me in this,” Stahelski said of the “massive property” during an interview with Entertainment Weekly at the time. “I truly believe this is one of those properties that could actually sustain a good universe, meaning a TV show or something.”
“And to go out there, and just haphazardly throw together what we think would be a quick sword-fighting-immortal movie, I think would be a mistake,” he continued. “And honestly, the people behind this, the studio behind this, they’re dying for this to go.”
“If anything, I’m the one holding it back, and trying to creatively lay out everything,” Stahelski, who directed all of the “John Wick” movies, added.

Cavill was announced to star in the remake in May 2021, and the “Justice League” actor stunned followers and opened up about the project during CinemaCon 2024.
“I am a lover of the original movies, for better or worse,” Cavill, who is a rumored frontrunner to play the next James Bond, said at the time. “It’s one of those things where reading the script, I wasn’t quite sure where they were going to go.”

“If you think you’ve seen me do sword work before, you haven’t seen anything yet,” the “Witcher” star added.
However, plans modified earlier this 12 months when “Highlander” was acquired by Amazon MGM Studios’ United Artists banner from Lionsgate, where the film had been in development since 2016.
Despite the change in manufacturing firms, the movie was still transferring ahead without a hitch – until Cavill’s latest injury, that is.
