‘The Death of Robin Hood’ – Hugh Jackman & Jodie Comer Star in New Darker Reimagining of Classic Tale

Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer are set to star in a new “darker reimagining of the classic Robin Hood tale”, The Death of Robin Hood.

Deadline reports that Michael Sarnoski (Pig, A Quiet Place: Day One) is writing and directing The Death of Robin Hood.

Deadline details, “the film will see the title character grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder, a battle worn loner who finds himself gravely injured and in the hands of a mysterious woman who offers him a chance at salvation. Production is due to begin in February 2025.”

Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett will produce under their Ryder Picture Company banner alongside Alexander Black for Lyrical Media. Lyrical’s Jon Rosenberg and Natalie Sellers will executive-produce with Rama Gottumukkala, Sarnoski, and Jackman.

“This is not the story of Robin Hood we’ve all come to know,” teased Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett of RPC. “Instead, Michael has crafted something far more grounded and visceral. Thanks to Alexander Black and our friends at Lyrical along with Rama and Michael, the world is going to love seeing Hugh and Jodie together in this epic.”

“It has been an incredible opportunity to reinvent and freshly innovate the story we all know of Robin Hood,” adds Sarnoski. “Securing the perfect cast to transform the script to screen was essential. I could not be more thrilled and trusting in Hugh and Jodie to bring this story to life in a powerful and meaningful way.”
