Henry Cavill took the stage at CienmaCon during the Lionsgate panel and teased a bit more about the upcoming Highlander film in the works at the studio.
A long-time fan of the lore of the franchise, he teased that the new film will delve deeper into the lore, more than anything that may have come before: 'I'm a lover of the original movies, for better or for worse, and it's one of those things where when I was reading the script for the first time I wasn't quite too sure where they were going to go with it. The first few movies 'touched on the lore… but my goodness me oh my, we are going deep into these characters.
Moritz and Josh Davis are producing the film, with Amanda Lewis, Patrick Wachsberger, and Gregory Widen exec producing. This one has been in turnaround for…some time at this point. John Wick director Chad Stahelski has been attached before to possibly direct. The original 1986 film has spawned four sequels and even three different tv series. I have never seen any of them but I do remember my mom and some of her friends getting together to watch the show that was on the USA Network.

New Film 'In The Grey' to Feature Henry Cavill and Jake GyllenhaalPlot details remain under wraps for In The Grey, though it will reportedly follow “a group who operates in the middle of criminality and the law.” Along with Cavill and Gyllenhaal, the film stars “Guy creates a wonderful environment on set,” Cavill said. “It’s a creative freedom, certainly… In Guy’s case, it really is like family… there is a shorthand, there is a freedom of friendship.”Cavill and González both play major roles in Ritchie’s latest film, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Releasing in United States theaters on April 19, 2024, the movie also stars Henry Golding, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, and more. “Based upon recently declassified files of the British War Department and inspired by true events, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is an action-comedy that tells the story of the first-ever special forces organization formed during WWII by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a small group of military officials including author Ian Fleming,” the synopsis for the film reads. “The top-secret combat unit, composed of a motley crew of rogues and mavericks, goes on a daring mission against the Nazis using entirely unconventional and utterly ‘ungentlemanly’ fighting techniques. Ultimately their audacious approach changed the course of the war and laid the foundation for the British SAS and modern Black Ops warfare.” Gyllenhaal, meanwhile, previously starred in Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant, which was released in 2023
