During an interview on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, Chad Stahelski shared some insights about the “Immortal” reboot he is working on. He disclosed that the new narrative might serve as a prequel to the original 1986 film.

“We already have some very promising elements,” he stated. The challenge lies in the “there can only be one” concept; you can’t eliminate all of them right away. I’ll be the first to say that many familiar characters will be part of our story. However, we’ve also incorporated elements from the series and are attempting to create a sort of prequel—a tale delving into the origins of The Gathering—allowing us room for expansion.”
