Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer lead the cast of The Death of Robin Hood, a gritty reworking of the legendary tale, set to arrive in UK and Irish cinemas soon via True Brit Entertainment and A24.

Directed by Michael Sarnoski (Pig, A Quiet Place: Day One), the film introduces a very different Robin Hood: older, wounded, and haunted by a lifetime of violence. After what he believes to be his final battle, Robin finds himself gravely injured and in the care of a mysterious woman who may offer him one last shot at redemption.

The star-studded cast also includes Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett and Noah Jupe. With its revisionist tone and melancholic atmosphere, The Death of Robin Hood looks to bring a more grounded and introspective take to the familiar folklore, trading Sherwood forest swashbuckling for something closer to an emotional reckoning.

A trailer and first-look images have now been released, teasing a brooding period drama with sweeping landscapes and raw performances. While the official release date is yet to be confirmed, anticipation is already building for what promises to be a bold, character-driven retelling of one of Britain’s most enduring myths.
