NOT IMMORTAL

Superman Actor Henry Cavill Has Injury Delaying ’80s Reboot

The extent and circumstances of his injury are currently unknown.

Henry Cavill, who played Superman in several DC movies, has suffered an injury that will push production of Highlander until next year. A Thursday report from Deadline says the English actor, 42, was injured during training for his role in the Amazon MGM Studios’ United Artists movie. The Hollywood Reporter also confirmed the report. The extent and circumstances of his injury sustained during the reboot’s pre-production are currently unknown. Filming is now set to begin in 2026. The Man of Steel actor teased his swordsmanship training last year at CinemaCon. “If you think you’ve seen me do sword work before, you haven’t seen anything yet,” Cavill said. John Wick director Chad Stahelski is helming the remake, which also stars Russell Crowe, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan and others. The original 1986 version, starring Christopher Lambert, follows an immortal 16th-century Scottish warrior who is facing off against his longtime foe in 1980s New York City.
