The Death of Robin Hood (2026)

The Death of Robin Hood is an upcoming 2026 historical drama and action film written and directed by Michael Sarnoski. The film offers a darker, more grounded interpretation of the legendary outlaw, focusing on Robin Hood at the end of his life as he confronts the consequences of his past and the fading of the world he once knew.

Hugh Jackman stars as Robin Hood, with Jodie Comer playing Marian. The supporting cast includes Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett, Noah Jupe, Rhys Ifans, and Michael Mando. Rather than presenting Robin Hood as an invincible folk hero, the film explores themes of mortality, redemption, loyalty, and the cost of violence through a more intimate and dramatic approach to the familiar legend.

The film was produced by A24, Lyrical Media, Proton Cinema, and 30West and is scheduled for theatrical release in the United States on August 21, 2026. Michael Sarnoski, known for Pig and A Quiet Place: Day One, also wrote the screenplay. The film premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard section.
