Kang Mi Na in talks to join Byeon Woo Seok in 'Solo Leveling'
Jeon Jong Seo joins the Hollywood remake of the 1980s classic Highlander.
On November 5, a representative from Jeon Jong Seo's agency, Andmarq, reported to News1, "Jeon Jong Seo will star in Highlander." The actress will be playing a member of the Watcher faction in the film.
Highlander is a British-American co-production released in 1986. The action-fantasy film depicts immortal warriors who fight one another across centuries. It was directed by Chad Stahelski, starred Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery, and was released in Korea in 1989 under the title The Last Highlander.
The remake of Highlander was originally scheduled to begin filming this fall. However, due to lead actor Henry Cavill's injury during pre-production, the shoot has been postponed to early next year.
In addition to Jeon Jong Seo, the film’s cast includes Henry Cavill, Russell Crowe, Marisa Abela, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Jeremy Irons, Djimon Hounsou, Zhang Jin, Drew McIntyre, Siobhán Cullen, Nassim Lyes, and Kevin McKidd.
Jeon Jong-seo made her debut in director Lee Chang-dong’s Burning (2018) and entered Hollywood with Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon (2023). Most recently, she was invited to the Toronto International Film Festival with Project Y.
