Henry Cavill has shared an update after sustaining an injury while filming Chad Stahelski’s “Highlander” reboot.
Cavill took to Instagram on Wednesday to show his progress since the September injury, which delayed the Amazon MGM production likely until early 2026. The “Superman” star posted several photos of himself working out, his left leg still in a boot, with the caption “Endure. In enduring, grow strong.”
Cavill stars in “Highlander” alongside Russell Crowe, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, Dave Bautista, Marisa Abela and Max Zhang. Stahelski, who helmed the “John Wick” film franchise, directs from a script by Michael Finch.

The “Highlander” remake has been in development for over a decade. It was first announced in 2009 at Summit Entertainment, spearheaded by producer Neal H. Moritz. Stahelski joined the project in 2016 and Cavill was attached as the star in 2021. Then earlier this year, United Artists, under the leadership of its new chief, Scott Stuber, acquired the project from Lionsgate. Stuber and Mortiz both serve as producers on the film with Nick Nesbitt, Josh Davis, Louise Rosner and Stahelski’s production banner, 87Eleven Entertainment.
Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery lead the original 1986 “Highlander,” which sees an ancient clash of Scottish immortals reincarnate into modern-day Manhattan. The film was a box office flop upon its initial release, but it achieved cult classic status on home video, spawning sequels, TV adaptations and spin-off novels.
Cavill’s other upcoming projects include Netflix’s “Enola Holmes 3,” Amazon MGM’s “Voltron” and Lionsgate’s action thriller “In the Grey.”
