I’m a lover of the original movies for better or for worse, but, my goodness, me. What we are doing with this is… we are going deep into the meat of these characters and their trials and tribulations. If you thought you saw me do swordwork before, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Stahelski has recently updated that the film will start shooting in January 2025 in Scotland (via Collider) and will hit theaters sometime in 2026. Additionally, Cavill will reunite with Guy Ritchie for the action thriller In The Grey which will also star Jake Gyllenhaal and Eiza González. The film will hit theaters on January 17, 2025.
