I’m so excited about the new movie, The Death of Robin Hood, starring Hugh Jackman! It’s going to be a really unique take on the classic story. We’ve seen so many versions of Robin Hood, but this one is different – it’s based on a much older, darker ballad from the 1600s called Robin Hood’s Death, so it promises to be a real thriller.
The upcoming film, The Death of Robin Hood, has officially received an R rating due to its strong and graphic violence. This makes it unusual, as previous Robin Hood movies starring Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner, and Taron Egerton were all rated PG-13.
While some other Robin Hood films like The Siege of Robin Hood and Robin Hood: Ghosts of Sherwood also received R-ratings, none can match the impressive cast of the new thriller from A24. In contrast, Disney’s classic animated movie from 1973 is very family-friendly and earned a G-rating.
Most stories celebrate Robin Hood as a heroic and righteous outlaw. However, the new film from A24, written and directed by Michael Sarnoski, presents a Robin Hood haunted by his past actions. The movie shows him dealing with the consequences of his violence, and features a nurse caring for him after a fight.
Hugh Jackman stars in The Death of Robin Hood alongside Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett, and Noah Jupe. Bill Skarsgård will play Little John, a key friend to the main character.
The most recent big-screen portrayal of the famous outlaw came in 2018 with a film featuring Taron Egerton. However, despite having well-known actors like Jamie Foxx and Eve Hewson, the movie wasn’t successful with critics or audiences, earning only $86 million worldwide on a $100 million production cost.
Most of the Robin Hood movies haven’t impressed critics. The 2018 version received the lowest rating at just 14%, while versions starring Crowe, Costner, and Cary Elwes earned 43%, 51%, and 42% respectively. The standout is Errol Flynn’s The Adventures of Robin Hood, which achieved a perfect 100% rating.
The latest version of the story was featured in the MGM+ TV show with Sean Bean and Jack Patten, and it was much better received by critics, currently holding a 77% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, as of now, the studio hasn’t announced whether the show will return for a second season.
The Death of Robin Hood does not have a release date yet, but it’s scheduled for sometime in 2026.
