They called him Robin Hood
Movie
In theaters: July 1, 2026
Action, adventure, thriller
Directed by Michael Sarnoski | Starring Hugh Jackman, Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård
Original title: The Death Of Robin Hood
The trailer signals a distinctly twilight-toned mood, far from a classic adventure adaptation. The film follows a Robin Hood left for dead after a final showdown, then taken in by a mysterious woman who offers him one last chance at redemption. The main stakes at this point are less about the epic quest and more about the character’s concluding arc.
The cast is headed in the same direction. Hugh Jackman portrays here a figure worn down by years and violence, while Jodie Comer and Bill Skarsgård accompany this new reading of the myth. Directed by Michael Sarnoski, the project presents itself as a tighter thriller d’action, driven by a simple idea: reimagining Robin Hood from a darker, more intimate angle.
