Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer will star in the new film The Death of Robin Hood, with Deadline reporting that Jackman and Comer have joined the upcoming project from director Michael Sarnoski (‘A Quiet Place: Day One.’)

Said Sarnoski: “It has been an incredible opportunity to reinvent and freshly innovate the story we all know of Robin Hood. Securing the perfect cast to transform the script to screen was essential. I could not be more thrilled and trusting in Hugh and Jodie to bring this story to life in a powerful and meaningful way.”

The Death of Robin Hood is a darker reimagining of the classic Robin Hood tale, and 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.”

Production is due to begin in February 2025.
