News The Death of Robin Hood Robin Hood Will Never Die, But Hugh Jackman Will Star in The Death of Robin Hood Does he love facing mortality or what? By Molly Templeton | Published on May 3, 2024 Comment 0 Share New Share Hugh Jackman, who is about to reprise his role (sort of) as Wolverine, a character who died in 2017’s Logan, is once again set to portray a legendary character as he meets his death. But this time, he’s playing Robin Hood. Michael Sarnoski, who also directed the upcoming prequel A Quiet Place: Day One, is directing The Death of Robin Hood, which also stars Jodie Comer. According to Deadline, “The film is a darker reimagining of the classic Robin Hood tale. Set of its time, the film will see the title character grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder, a battleworn loner who finds himself gravely injured and in the hands of a mysterious woman who offers him a chance at salvation.” “Set of its time” is a touch on the vague side, but then so are the origins of Robin Hood; tales about him have been around for a very, very, very, very long time. Sarnoski is also the writer on this film, which has among its producers folks who worked on Arrival and The Prestige. It’s been a minute since we had a Robin Hood film, and when I say “a minute” what I really mean is that I had entirely forgotten that a mere six years ago, Taron Egerton starred in a movie called Robin Hood. Have you ever found yourself entirely unable to remember if you saw a movie or just the trailers for said movie? This is one of those. As Emmet Asher-Perrin details in their review, this particular Robin Hood was neither good nor memorable. It will be a while before The Death of Robin Hood comes around; production isn’t expected to begin until early 2025.[end-mark] The post Robin Hood Will Never Die, But Hugh Jackman Will Star in <i>The Death of Robin Hood</i> appeared first on Reactor.
