Jeon Jong Seo Joins Henry Cavill in Hollywood Reboot “Highlander”
The breakout Korean actress is confirmed for a key role as a member of the secretive “Watchers,” with filming now set for early next year.
Jeon Jong Seo has been officially cast in the upcoming Hollywood reboot of “Highlander,” starring opposite Henry Cavill. According to her agency, Jeon will portray a member of the clandestine organization known as the Watchers—guardians who chronicle and oversee the battles of immortal warriors.
A reimagining of the 1986 fantasy classic, “Highlander” traces centuries-spanning clashes between immortals, each vying to be the last one standing. The production, initially expected to roll cameras this fall, has shifted to early next year following a schedule adjustment related to Cavill’s injury.
This marks Jeon Jong Seo’s second Hollywood project after her turn in Ana Lily Amirpour’s 2023 film “Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon.” Known for her fearless performances and genre versatility, Jeon’s move into a globally recognized franchise signals another meaningful step for Korean talent expanding its footprint in mainstream cinema.
With the “Highlander” universe poised for a modern revival, anticipation is building around how Jeon’s enigmatic Watcher will shape the mythos—and how her presence will amplify the growing influence of Korean storytelling on the world stage.
