The many legends of Robin Hood have been told many times on the big screen, but nothing quite like Michael Sarnoski’s The Death of Robin Hood. Starring Hugh Jackman as the titular outlaw who stole from the rich and gave to the poor, the film finds a much older, more grizzled version than in most depictions. It’s also based on the “Robin Hood’s Death” legend, which finds him ill and at the mercy of a mysterious prioress.
Jodie Comer plays the mystery caretaker in The Death of Robin Hood, joined by Bill Skarsgard as Little John, plus Murray Bartlett and Noah Jupe. Sarnoski also wrote the screenplay, following on his breakthrough films Pig and A Quiet Place: Day One.
A24 has dropped the first trailer, featuring Jackman, Comer, and Skarsgard.
SYNOPSIS: Grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder, Robin Hood finds himself gravely injured after a battle he thought would be his last. In the hands of a mysterious woman, he is offered a chance at salvation.
A24 will release The Death of Robin Hood in 2026. It already has another blockbuster film in the works with Sarnoski, the video game adaptation Death Stranding.
