After seven years of lingering in development, the Highlander reboot is finally moving forward and director Chad Stahelski shares new insight for his vision of the project. The 1986 fantasy action movie introduced audiences the secret world of immortals going as far back as the 16th century, who wage a war against one another across the centuries for a mysterious ultimate Prize. Stahelski, well-known for his extensive stuntwork and directing the John Wick franchise, signed on to helm a reboot of the franchise in 2016, with Cavill joining the cast in 2021.
