After the success of Nosferatu, Bill Skarsgård has secured his next major role in The Death of Robin Hood, a gripping action epic directed by Michael Sarnoski. Joining him are The White Lotus star Murray Bartlett and A Quiet Place actor Noah Jupe, adding even more star power to the already impressive cast, which also includes Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer in leading roles.
The film will center around Jackman’s portrayal of Robin Hood, a battle-hardened man grappling with his dark, murderous past. The synopsis teases that after being severely injured, Robin Hood finds himself in the care of a mysterious woman (Comer), who offers him a chance for redemption. The film promises a compelling mix of action and drama, with themes of salvation and reckoning.
Produced by Lyrical Media and with Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett producing through the Ryder Picture Company banner, The Death of Robin Hood will be distributed by A24 in the U.S. Jackman will not only star but also serve as a producer. While Skarsgård’s character remains a mystery, given his recent performances, it’s safe to expect a deeply layered and potentially sinister role.
Skarsgård has garnered acclaim for his roles in the It franchise as Pennywise and Nosferatu as Count Orlok. Bartlett, known for his Emmy-winning performance in The White Lotus, and Jupe, who impressed audiences in A Quiet Place and the film Honey Boy, further elevate the film’s potential. This marks Jupe’s second collaboration with director Sarnoski, following A Quiet Place.
With such a talented cast and a thrilling premise, The Death of Robin Hood is shaping up to be a major cinematic event when it arrives.
