Warhammer 40,000 (TV Series and Potential Movie)

(2026)
Highlander (Movie)
Release Date: Expected in 2026

Filming is slated to begin in May 2025 in Scotland, with a budget exceeding $100 million. The story spans from the 1500s Highlands to a futuristic New York and Hong Kong, promising a mix of action, a unique love story, and a deep character arc for Cavill’s 500-year-old martial artist.

Voltron (Movie)
Release Date: Possible 2026 (TBD)

Filming is set to start later in 2025 in Australia, with Cavill joined by Daniel Quinn-Toye. The plot, still under wraps, follows five pilots who combine their vehicles into the giant robot Voltron. Speculation suggests Cavill might play a villain like King Zarkon, though his role isn’t confirmed. Given the production timeline, a 2026 release seems plausible.

Additional Projects with Uncertain Dates
The Rosie Project (Movie)
Details: Cavill is attached to star as Don Tillman, a socially awkward professor seeking love via a questionnaire, in this romantic drama directed by Steve Falk.

Squadron 42 (Video Game Cameo)
Details: Cavill voices Ryan Enright in this Star Citizen spin-off, alongside stars like Mark Hamill and Gillian Anderson. Announced with a 2026 release window in late 2024, it’s not a traditional movie or TV show but adds to Cavill’s 2026 presence.
Status: Post-production, expected 2026.
Notes,
Cavill’s cameo as “Cavillrine” in Deadpool & Wolverine (July 2024) isn’t listed as it’s already released, but it reflects his ongoing appeal in high-profile projects.
Rumors of Marvel Cinematic Universe roles (e.g., Captain Britain) persist but lack confirmation, so they’re excluded here.
Production timelines and release dates are subject to change, especially for projects like Warhammer 40,000 and The Rosie Project, which have faced delays.
Henry Cavill’s 2025 and 2026 slate blends franchise reboots (Highlander, Voltron), streaming giants (Enola Holmes 3, Warhammer 40,000), and Ritchie’s action flair (In the Grey), ensuring he remains a prominent figure in entertainment. Fans can expect a mix of swordplay, sci-fi, and charm in the years ahead!
