Henry Cavill’s Highlander Is Getting the John Wick Treatment

Everyone’s talking about the 2026 reboot of the 1986 film Highlander, starring Henry Cavill, and comparing it to John Wick. But what makes this revival so likely to redefine the fantasy genre? A big reason is the director: Chad Stahelski, who directed all four John Wick movies. Plus, Dave Bautista, known for his role in Marvel films, who plays the villain, has said the action will be revolutionary for the genre.
