‘The Death of Robin Hood’ Starring Hugh Jackman Gets Dark New Teaser from A24
A new look at The Death of Robin Hood has been released, and it shows a much darker version of the well-known story. The film comes from studio A24 and stars Hugh Jackman in the lead role.
The teaser gives a different tone from the classic Robin Hood legend. Instead of a heroic outlaw, the story follows an older and broken man dealing with the damage from his violent past. He is shown recovering after a serious injury and facing a turning point in his life.
According to the film’s official premise shared by the studio, Robin Hood is struggling after a long life filled with crime and death. While recovering, he meets a mysterious woman who offers him a chance to change his fate. The story focuses on whether he can find redemption or not.

The movie is written and directed by Michael Sarnoski, who is known for films like A Quiet Place: Day One and Pig. His version of Robin Hood is described as a darker and more emotional take on the character.
The cast includes Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett, and Noah Jupe. Skarsgård plays Little John, a key figure in Robin Hood’s story. Other characters are part of a reworked version of the classic legend.
Production on the film started in early 2025 in Northern Ireland. Filming took place at several locations including Belfast Harbour Studios and other scenic areas around the country. The production wrapped later that spring after a short shoot. The film was also shot on 35mm film, giving it a more traditional cinematic look.
The Death of Robin Hood is rated R due to strong and graphic violence. The studio is aiming for a more serious and intense version of the story compared to earlier adaptations.
The movie is scheduled to be released in theaters in the United States on June 19.
This looks like a very different take on a familiar story, and that could be interesting if done well. A darker Robin Hood might surprise audiences who expect a more traditional adventure film. What do you think about this new version of Robin Hood? Share your thoughts in the comments.
