16 Dec
Summary
- Hugh Jackman portrays a 'monstrous' outlaw grappling with his legend.
- The film explores Robin Hood's brutal past and regrets.
- Jodie Comer plays a mysterious character introducing new life aspects.

Hugh Jackman embodies a dark and reflective Robin Hood in the upcoming A24 film, "The Death of Robin Hood." Director Michael Sarnoski envisions a story where the legendary outlaw is confronting his past as a "murderous outlaw" and "monstrous" figure. The film, scheduled for a 2026 release, delves into Robin Hood's brutal actions and his complex feelings about the heroic folklore that has grown around his name.
Set against the backdrop of Northern Ireland's stark landscapes, the movie promises an intense and human drama. Jackman described his character as "a real man" burdened by pain and regret, suggesting a departure from traditional heroic portrayals. Bill Skarsgård appears as a former child soldier mentored by Robin Hood, adding another layer of complex relationships.
Jodie Comer portrays a mysterious character who brings a different perspective to Robin Hood's life, contrasting sharply with the film's gritty tone. Sarnoski, known for "Pig" and "A Quiet Place: Day One," aims to capture the brutal reality of medieval combat, eschewing romanticized notions for a more visceral depiction.
