The world attests to the caliber of Henry Cavill as an actor. From his debut as Man of Steel in 2013 to his dive into the magical realm of the fantasy genre in The Witcher series, the star has consistently demonstrated his love for the supernatural genre. Now, further adding to his list of blockbuster movies is another masterpiece in the making as Henry Cavill gets his name attached to Connor MacLeod.

Much like how Cavill seems to be on a rampage with his fantasy projects, Chad Stahelski seems to be on the bandwagon of delivering updates about the new Highlander reboot.

Henry Cavill and his Highlander reboot will remain loyal to the original in this way

After seven years of waiting and hoping for updates on the development of the Highlander reboot starring Henry Cavill, fans have finally received some positive news. In an interview with Screen Rant, Chad Stahelski talked about his vision for the Highlander reboot. The director revealed that his love for the original is what drove him to join the franchise in the first place. He plans to use the features that worked in the first movie, such as the “ancillary stuff” for the reboot.

Apart from the ancillary stuff, the director also plans to dip his fingers into the mythology of the original. Ultimately, he is not planning to curb the plot of its reboot. This is further proved by the confirmation of Henry Cavill as a lead. Stahelski seems to have secured success to some level with Cavill’s casting. However, the movie remains his most ambitious effort to date.

While the Highlander reboot given the actor and the original attached to it may be one of the most anticipated projects Chad Stahelski has in the pipeline, it is not the only one.

Chad Stahelski to direct the film adaptation of this Japanese game

Ghost of Tsushima, an action-packed adventure game from Sucker Punch Productions, was released in 2020. This Japanese game reached Hollywood heights when Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions announced in March 2021 that they would make a film of the same name. While PlayStation has produced some fantastic games, the recent decade has seen the birth of an era of tremendously cinematic video games. To add to the intrigue, John Wick director Chad Stahelski is tapped to direct and produce the film.

In the interview with Screen Rant, the filmmaker provided a very encouraging update about the film. He revealed that the script was finally complete after a two-year delay. Further, expanding on his update, he said that the creative team is “very close to getting our s**t together.” The director also conceded that they are now waiting for the strikes to stop entirely before proceeding with any of the developments.
