This is a huge blockbuster with a production cost of 100 billion won, and it is a global project with all the ultra-luxury cast members such as Henry Cavill, Mark Ruffalo, Russell Crowe, Dave Battista, Karen Gillan, and Jeremy Irons. Directed by Chad Starhelski, who presented a distinctive action aesthetic with the John Wick series, it is produced by the United Label, a production company under Amazon MGM Studios.
Jeon appears as a member of The Watchers, a secret organization that monitors fire lions in the play.
'Highlander' is a series that began with the 1986 movie of the same name, and is highly influential in the original fandom, which has built a long fan base. This remake is considered a project that focuses on the attention of the original fans with such high expectations.
Jeon Jong-seo was previously invited to the Cannes Film Festival with director Lee Chang-dong's 'Burning', and has steadily expanded his activities to Hollywood's entry 'Mona Lisa & the Blood Moon' and the recent Toronto International Film Festival invitation 'Project Y'. With the appearance of 'Highlander', it is expected that it will continue to take a broader step on the global stage.
Meanwhile 'Highlander' remake is set to crank in early 2026.
