Actress Karen Gillan has been confirmed as part of the ensemble cast for the highly anticipated Highlander reboot, according to reports from Collider. The project, which is currently in production, is being directed by Chad Stahelski and boasts an estimated budget of $180 million.
Gillan joins a high-profile cast that includes Henry Cavill as Connor MacLeod and Academy Award winner Russell Crowe as Ramirez. The production, backed by Amazon MGM Studios, also features Dave Bautista, Jeremy Irons, Djimon Hounsou, and Marisa Abela. This role marks a significant addition to Gillan’s filmography as she continues to expand her portfolio beyond her long-standing work in major sci-fi franchises.
While production details remain closely guarded, the project is considered one of the most significant upcoming reboots in the industry, aiming to bring a fresh, action-oriented approach to the classic 1986 fantasy narrative.
