British actor Henry Cavill officially has five upcoming movies on the horizon with only one release date announced as of writing.

Cavill found his acting career turned upside down in 2022 as he vacated the roles of DC's Superman and The Witcher's Geralt, paving the way for David Corenswet and Liam Hemsworth, respectively, to take on the characters for future projects.

Henry Cavill will seemingly next get in front of the cameras in January 2025 (via Collider) as he takes to Scotland with John Wick director Chad Stahelski for a remake of the 1986 fantasy action-adventure flick Highlander.

Lionsgate chairman Joe Drake revealed during an earnings call that Highlander will be among the studio's 2026 releases (via IGN).
