Hugh Jackman’s Gritty Reimagining “The Death of Robin Hood” Set for 2026 Release
The highly anticipated dramatic thriller “The Death of Robin Hood,” directed by Michael Sarnoski (Pig, A Quiet Place: Day One), has officially secured its theatrical launch window. Starring Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer, the film is scheduled to arrive in U.S. cinemas on January 30, 2026.
Departing from the traditional swashbuckling heroics associated with the character, Sarnoski’s vision offers a somber, visceral exploration of the legendary outlaw. The narrative follows a battle-worn Robin Hood, grappling with a life of violence and crime, as he finds himself in the care of a mysterious woman who offers him a final chance at salvation.
Production is slated to commence in February 2025. With a cast led by Jackman in a physically and emotionally demanding role, the project aims to deconstruct the folklore through a lens of realism and mortality. Distributed by A24 in the United States, the film is expected to be a major highlight of the early 2026 cinematic calendar, promising a haunting conclusion to the myth of the Prince of Thieves.
