Henry Cavill has reportedly been injured while preparing to film Highlander.

It is understood that the 42-year-old actor hurt himself - with the nature of his injury not known - during training for the Amazon MGM Studios' United Artists film, Deadline reports.

Due to Cavill's claimed injury, the publication reports that shooting for the Chad Stahelski-directed revival of the hit 1986 action-fantasy film will be delayed until 2026.

The original Highlander starred Christopher Lambert as MacLeod and followed the Scottish swordsman who discovers he is immortal before finding himself in a battle across centuries with other born immortals, including the evil Kurgan.

The franchise produced four films, two live-action TV series, and multiple novels.
