A24 Unveils First Look at The Death of Robin Hood

A24 has officially pulled back the curtain on its highly anticipated dark period drama, The Death of Robin Hood. The studio recently released both an “official first look” and an “official promo” clip, offering audiences a glimpse into a grounded, visceral reimagining of the iconic folk hero’s legend.

A Grittier Take on a Classic Legend

Moving away from the traditional swashbuckling tropes often associated with the character, The Death of Robin Hood presents a battle-worn, older version of the title character. The narrative follows a man grappling with a lifetime of crime and violence, now living as a loner. His path takes a turn when he finds himself gravely injured and under the care of a mysterious woman who offers him a potential path toward salvation.

The project is written and directed by Michael Sarnoski, known for his work on Pig and A Quiet Place: Day One. The film’s creative vision is brought to life by a high-profile cast, including Hugh Jackman, Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett and Noah Jupe. The newly released clips emphasize the film’s striking visual style and the tonal shift Sarnoski is bringing to this legendary figure.

Production and Release Details

The film is produced by Aaron Ryder, Andrew Swett, and Alexander Black. As A24 continues to expand its portfolio—which includes recent titles ranging from Marty Supreme to Civil War—this dark reimagining stands out as a significant entry in their upcoming theatrical slate.

Fans of A24’s signature arthouse approach can expect to see The Death of Robin Hood in cinemas on June 19th.
