Overview

• United Artists’ feature is directed by Chad Stahelski, with a cast that includes Russell Crowe, Marisa Abela, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, Max Zhang, and Dave Bautista.
• Michael Finch wrote the screenplay based on the 1986 film, after UA secured full rights to the original with an option to develop a series.
• The project halted pre-production earlier this month following Cavill’s injury, and principal photography is now expected to start in early 2026.
• McIntyre’s casting as Angus MacLeod marks a reunion with Stahelski’s 87Eleven stunt team and with Bautista after their work on The Killer’s Game.
• Trade reports indicate the shoot is being planned for Scotland, England, and Hong Kong once the schedule restarts.
