Especially since that snub was a back-to-back hit right after his cutting loose with The Witcher’s world. Therefore, as he gets all ready to bring his charm for the movie monitors with the espionage thriller, Argylle on February 2nd, the other bombshell releases from his sleeve, specifically Highlander Reboot, have also begun buzzing.

Henry Cavill’s proficiency in swordsmanship was already out in the open since his skinning of Geralt’s role. However, since those days were short-lived, Chad Stahelski shouldered the responsibility to bring that avatar again on his journey of Highlander Reboot by casting the former Geralt. This return to the fantasy will firstly be distributed by Lionsgate as it will be launching sales at the AFM.

Secondly, the Stahelski directorial will also have a whopping figure budget north of $100 million. Third and finally, Henry Cavill’s donning of Connor MacLeod’s swordsmanship will officially begin filming in July. So far, it seems that the makers might be moving ahead as per their schedule, which was revealed previously in October. And while fans were already eagerly waiting for the moment to queue up for Argylle’s watch-fest, this update could be the supreme touch.

Chad Stahelski promises to remain faithful to Highlander

One of the things Cavill holds to his heart is the need to remain loyal to the source of origin. It was this need that caused the creative differences between him and the makers of The Witcher in the first place. However, the actor might need to worry about this factor for Highlander Reboot because the director has already planned to do the same as was revealed by him in an interview with Screen Rant last year.

According to him, since it was his love for the original that drew his passion for a reboot creation for the franchise, he plans to work out the “ancillary stuff” from the 1986 movie in his remake. Furthermore, Stahelski also plans to go neck-deep in the mythological importance of the original. And he also plans to not suppress the original plotline of the movie. Therefore, with his own pledges and the following updates, a complete package of a Henry Cavill-led box office queue awaits shortly.
