Directed by Chad Stahelski and starring Henry Cavill, the Highlander Remake is one of the most highly-anticipated upcoming projects. It will reportedly be based on the original Highlander film which came out in 1986, and stars Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, Clancy Brown, and Roxanne Hart. Its success led to the development of four live-action movie sequels, an animated film, multiple TV shows, and a web series.
The conversations about a Highlander Remake have been around since 2008, when Summit Entertainment acquired the rights to the franchise. Over the years, several filmmakers and actors, including Justin Lin and Ryan Reynolds, were reported to be attached to the project. Eventually, it was announced in October 2023 that Lionsgate, which owns Summit Entertainment, was going forward with the remake with Stahelski and Cavill. The project is currently in pre-production. If you are wondering when the Highland Remake is coming out, this is what we have discovered.
Here’s all the Highlander Remake release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there a Highlander Remake release date?
Highlander Remake’s release date could arrive by sometime in 2026.
In November 2023, Joe Drake, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group’s chairman, named Highlander Remake as one of the company’s tentpole releases of 2026. Even though he is stepping down in the coming months, the plans he made will likely be adhered to. Filming will reportedly begin at some point in 2024. If it concludes by the end of the year, Highlander Remake is likely to meet its 2026 planned release date.
This date is an estimation based on the information we have at the time of writing.
Where is Highlander Remake coming out?
Highlander Remake is anticipated to come out in theaters sometime in 2026.
This is because, as mentioned above, Highlander Remake is one of the upcoming tentpole releases for Lionsgate, and the studio presumably hopes that the film will be a massive theatrical success. ComingSoon will provide an update when the release date is announced.
The official synopsis for Highlander Remake reads:
“An immortal Scottish swordsman faces off with other immortal warriors in order to obtain a coveted ability.”
