The Highlander (2026) reboot, starring Henry Cavill, reimagines the classic tale of immortal warriors who battle through centuries for the ultimate prize: the power of all immortals.
Set in both modern-day and historical periods, the film follows Connor MacLeod, played by Henry Cavill, who discovers he is one of the last of a race of immortals destined to duel each other until only one remains.
As MacLeod learns about his ancient origins, the story moves through his life across different eras, showing his struggles, loves, and losses. He must battle enemies from his past, including a new menacing villain, also immortal, who seeks to claim the ultimate power for himself.
The movie features intense sword fights, epic battles, and mystical elements as MacLeod trains to become the last Highlander. The reboot seeks to introduce the story to a new generation while staying faithful to the themes of the original, focusing on destiny, honor, and the burden of immortality.
