In addition to embracing his new role as an expectant father, Henry Cavill is also preparing for a slew of upcoming releases that are set to hit the box office. One project that has particularly captivated Cavill fans is Chad Stahelski's Highlander reboot, and recently, an exciting piece of news about this highly anticipated remake has emerged. 

With filming updates underway, it appears fans should brace themselves for Cavill's return to sword-fighting, as reports suggest he is not only preparing for his role as a soon-to-be dad but also honing the skills he last showcased in The Witcher.

Recently, Henry Cavill's social media has been abuzz with baby updates as he and Natalie Viscuso prepare to welcome their little Superman. Meanwhile, on the professional front, new information has surfaced about the highly anticipated Highlander reboot, in which Cavill plans to revisit the combat skills he honed in The Witcher. In a recent interview with Collider at the Mediterranean Film Festival in Malta, director Chad Stahelski revealed that filming for the remake will commence in January 2025 in Scotland. 

Stahelski mentioned that he would be heading to Scotland on Monday, likely this week, for a final location scout. The film aims to feature Stahelski's signature action style, trading the gunmen trainees for swordsmen this time. However, he emphasized that the movie would not be limited to just sword-fighting sequences as he aims to do justice to the period piece by blending it with sci-fi.

Despite his cautiousness to avoid making the film a show barrel of sword-fight sequences, Stahelski teased fans with the introduction of a new style of sword-fighting, with Cavill, who has already won fans' hearts with his swordsmanship.

Chad Stahelski has long been a master at crafting edgy action sequences. However, in a departure from his usual gunfight scenes, the Highlander reboot aims to deliver exhilarating, goosebump-inducing sword-fighting sequences featuring Henry Cavill, who has already showcased similar skills in The Witcher. During his chat with Collider, Stahelski mentioned that his primary focus has been on creating a “new look of action or sword fighting that people could be excited about.”

Stahelski expressed confidence in his cast, describing them as the best he has ever worked with, and praised the trainers and sword fighters involved. With such a talented team, Stahelski is set on redefining sword fighting in the cinema. Thus, this project not only promises to enhance Stahelski's already impressive resume but also allows Cavill to revisit and refine his combat roots while he prepares to fit into the dad jeans on the side with baby shower updates and more.
