Henry Cavill is taking it easy.

A week after ** learned that the actor had suffered an injury while training to star in the latest *Highlander* movie, the actor posted a photo of his foot up and in what appears to be a cast. A second photo depicted his face, near his pet bulldog.

The *Man of Steel *star captioned the images with the poem "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley.

EW has reached out to reps for the actor.

When the injury occurred, production of the reboot of the 1986 film, which starred Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery, was pushed back until most likely early 2026.

The *Highlander* franchise that emerged from the original film was later adapted into a TV series that aired for six seasons between 1992 and 1998.

All of them tell the action-fantasy story of an immortal Scottish swordsman's battles, taking place across storylines in the past and the present.

The latest version is set to be directed by Chad Stahelski, who helmed the *John Wick* movies.

Russell Crowe, Dave Bautista, Marisa Abela, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, and Max Zhang will costar alongside Cavill.

Stahelski told EW in May 2019 that he saw the property as one that could "actually sustain a good universe, meaning a TV show or something," as long as he didn't "f--- it up to the point where you cannot continue this story." He added, "We love it so much, we're trying to treat it with a lot of care."

The team didn't want to end up with another version of *Highlander II; The Quickening*, a sequel to the original that was maligned by critics and audiences.

Cavill has several projects of his own in the works. In addition to portraying Duncan MacLeod in *Outlander*, Cavill will star in the upcoming Netflix film *Enola Holmes 3*, alongside Millie Bobby Brown; he will again play detective Sherlock Holmes. Among other projects, he will star in director Guy Ritchie's action movie *In the Grey*, alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Rosamund Pike.**
