Bill Skarsgård Joins Hugh Jackman in A24’s ‘The Death of Robin Hood’

Michael Sarnoski (Pig, A Quiet Place: Day One) directs the upcoming dark reimagining The Death of Robin Hood for A24, and Deadline reports the latest casting news today.

Bill Skarsgård (Nosferatu), Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus), and Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place) will star alongside the previously announced Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer.

A24 is planning a theatrical release for the film here in the United States.

The Death of Robin Hood is said to be “a darker reimagining of the classic Robin Hood tale. Set of its time, the film will see the title character grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder, a battleworn loner who finds himself gravely injured and in the hands of a mysterious woman who offers him a chance at salvation.”

Michael Sarnoski wrote the screenplay and will be directing the film.

Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett will produce under their Ryder Picture Company banner alongside Alexander Black for Lyrical Media. Lyrical’s Jon Rosenberg and Natalie Sellers will executive-produce with Rama Gottumukkala, Sarnoski, and Jackman.

“This is not the story of Robin Hood we’ve all come to know,” teased Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett of RPC. “Instead, Michael has crafted something far more grounded and visceral.”
