‘Such a rich world’: Henry Cavill will soon become immortal in one of the greatest fantasy sagas!

For more than 8 years, Chad Stahelski, the director of the John Wick saga, has been developing a project to reboot the Highlander saga. After a very long gestation, the director has made the news official: Highlander will indeed be his next film, leaving John Wick 5 aside for now. However, he will continue to oversee the two licenses thanks to an agreement with production company Lionsgate.

Highlander to John Wick!

“I am delighted to be able to further my relationship with Lionsgate in this new role overseeing the John Wick universe and its future expansion. John Wick is very close to my heart and it will be a pleasure to continue to lead it. I am very. I am delighted to release Another franchise with Highlander, a world so rich with interesting stories.– Ando Stahelski confided in the press release, which was transmitted The Hollywood Reporter.

While we already knew the director was working on the project, we still didn’t know if he would be making it before or after John Wick 5. Additionally, Chad Stahelski has also been announced for the Ghost of Tsushima video game adaptation. According to him, it seems that the director has postponed the transfer of this video game title to the big screen.

Henry Cavill is immortal!

Note that Henry Cavill is still attached to Highlander and will play the lead role in this new version of the immortal warrior Conor McLeod, previously played by Christophe Lambert. As the project is currently in pre-production, a release date is unknown.

“The mythology is so important that it’s very delicate to work with. You have to take the time to build the story, especially with the flashbacks, to explore the full potential of the mythology.”– said Chad Stahelski last March.

Therefore, the artist is still very enthusiastic about the idea of ​​​​restoring the saga of immortals. With this action specialist at the helm and Henry Cavill as the hero, Highlander could rise from the ashes and enjoy success again.
