Famed independent film studio A24 has officially shared a first look at their upcoming historical drama, The Death of Robin Hood.<\/p>\n
With early images of the film circulating across social media, the stills A24 shared on their Instagram<\/a> shows a nearly unrecognizable Hugh Jackman<\/a> as an older, more seasoned version of the legendary title character.<\/p>\n Inspired in part by the British legend of “Robin Hood’s Death,” The Death of Robin Hood follows the final stages of the iconic British bandit’s life<\/a>. As he confronts the reality of his eventful past as a murderer and thief, Jackman’s Robin also confronts a mysterious woman while contending with a potentially fatal injury.<\/p>\n Directed by Pig and A Quiet Place: Day One filmmaker Michael Sarnoski, the Instagram stills of The Death of Robin Hood specifically show Jackman decked out with a chest-length white beard, shoulder-length white hair and enough fur clothing to supply an additional season of Game of Thrones<\/a>.<\/p>\n Additional stills shared on Instagram show a similarly grizzled Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd (as Robin’s loyal lieutenant Little John) lying in a field with Jackman’s Robin, with another image showing Jodie Comer dressed in royal blue medieval apparel.<\/p>\n Set for an as-of-yet undetermined release date in 2026, The Death of Robin Hood will co-star Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus<\/a>) and Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place), both of whom have been cast in undisclosed roles.<\/p>\n Like his similarly folkloric successor Zorro, Robin Hood has long since been portrayed by a number of actors practically since the invention of the camera itself.<\/p>\n With The Death of Robin Hood, the 57-year-old Jackman joins a long line of accomplished performers who have embodied the British hero, including Douglas Fairbanks, Errol Flynn, Richard Todd, Sean Connery, Kevin Costner<\/a>, Cary Elwes and Russell Crowe.<\/p>\n The most recent live-action version of the character audiences were last entreated to came with 2018’s less-than-well-received Robin Hood, starring Taron Egerton in the lead role.<\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade<\/a> on Dec 16, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
