Marisa Abela Joins Star-Studded 'Highlander' Reboot

Marisa Abela has been cast in the Highlander reboot, which is being helmed by Chad Stahelski and developed under the United Artists label of Amazon MGM.
United Artists secured full rights to the original 1986 film after Lionsgate relinquished the project, leading to production scheduled to start in September in Scotland, England, and Hong Kong.
The original Highlander, a cult hit featuring battles among immortal warriors and spawning sequels and a TV series, inspires a new script by Michael Finch expanding its world and characters.
Abela, a BAFTA TV Award winner for Industry 3 and acclaimed for Back to Black, will play an immortal swordplay teacher and one of MacLeod’s past loves alongside Henry Cavill as MacLeod and Russell Crowe as Ramirez.
The reboot aims for a theatrical release and may develop into a broader Highlander universe, reflecting high anticipation for this update of the 1980s cult classic.
