Henry Cavill is making a swift return to preparation for the upcoming "Highlander" film, despite recently sustaining an injury. Director Chad Stahelski had previously indicated a September production start for the reboot, but news surfaced weeks ago regarding Cavill's training injury. The actor confirmed this via Instagram, and just yesterday, he shared an update showing himself back in training for "Highlander," notably wearing a boot on his injured leg, demonstrating his unwavering commitment.

With Henry Cavill in the lead role and "John Wick" director Chad Stahelski at the helm, "Highlander" was already generating considerable buzz. However, recent significant casting announcements have elevated its status to one of the most highly anticipated movies in the coming years. Collider initially reported the involvement of Russell Crowe in the "Highlander" reboot. The cast has since expanded to include "Guardians of the Galaxy" veterans Djimon Hounsou, Karen Gillan, and Dave Bautista, alongside Jeremy Irons and Drew McIntyre. The script for the film is being penned by "House of the Dragon" creator Ryan Condal, with additional contributions from Michael Finch and Kerry Williamson.

Beyond his current focus on "Highlander," Henry Cavill is widely recognized for his portrayal of Superman in "Man of Steel" and subsequent DCEU team-up films. He also famously played Geralt of Rivia across the first three seasons of "The Witcher" series on Netflix. More recently, Cavill collaborated with Guy Ritchie on "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," a film that also features Alan Ritchson. Last year, he made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut as a variant of Wolverine in "Deadpool & Wolverine."

Cavill's professional relationship with Guy Ritchie extends further, having first worked together on the spy parody "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.," a role that has frequently led to him being a popular fan-cast for the next James Bond. Following their work on "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," Cavill is set to reunite with Ritchie for "In the Grey," an adventure film co-starring Jake Gyllenhaal. "In the Grey," which wrapped production approximately two years ago, was initially slated for release this year but has since been delayed, with no new official release date announced.

Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates and comprehensive coverage regarding the "Highlander" reboot.
