Jeon Jong Seo officially joined the cast of the Hollywood blockbuster 'Highlander,' a remake of the classic 1986 fantasy film.
On November 6, Jeon’s agency ANDMARQ announced that she will appear in the upcoming film, which boasts a massive production budget of 100 billion KRW (approx. 70 million USD).
The highly anticipated remake features an all-star lineup, including Henry Cavill of the Superman series, Mark Ruffalo, widely known for his role as the Hulk in Marvel films, Russell Crowe ('A Beautiful Mind, Gladiator'), Dave Bautista and Karen Gillan from 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' and Jeremy Irons ('Reversal of Fortune,' 'House of Gucci').
The film will be directed by Chad Stahelski, best known for the 'John Wick' franchise, and produced under United Labels, a subsidiary of Amazon MGM Studios.
In 'Highlander,' Jeon Jong Seo will portray a member of “The Watchers,” a secret organization tasked with monitoring immortals who roam the world.
Originally launched with the 1986 film 'Highlander,' the franchise has built a strong cult following over the decades. The upcoming remake has already drawn significant attention from fans eager to see how Stahelski’s signature action style will reimagine the immortal saga.
Production is scheduled to begin in early 2026.
