According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cavill was in the thick of doing prep work to begin shooting on Chad Stahelski’s upcoming Highlander reboot, but has unfortunately suffered an injury, postponing production. Latest Highlander reboot production delayThe film, a reboot of the iconic ‘80s fantasy franchise, has been delayed several times over for multiple years now. While the exact nature of Cavill’s injury has remained under wraps, it was clearly severe enough that the production did not feel comfortable moving forward at this time. Before making the leap to directing with the John Wick franchise, Stahelski was a stunt performer who worked extensively on The Matrix films alongside the directors, the Wachowskis. As such, it’s apparent that if Highlander is pushing back its production date, this is no mere sprain of the ankle on Cavill’s part, but a truly detrimental injury.
