Henry Cavill teases his Highlander reboot, hyping up the movie’s sword work and “deep” dive into the universe’s lore. The fantasy-leaning franchise kicked off in 1986 with the cult classic original movie, starring Christopher Lambert as a sword-wielding immortal being trained by a flamboyant Sean Connery. The Highlander universe then expanded through three theatrical sequels, a TV series followed by its own spinoff and TV movie, plus various animated works. Highlander is now set for a reboot, starring Cavill as the sword-swinging immortal, with Chad Stahelski in the director’s chair.
