This isn’t your hot fox Robin Hood, that’s for sure. And there’s nothing very merry about anything happening in the new The Death of Robin Hood trailer from A24. Instead, Hugh Jackman is a grim and grizzled version of the outlaw, giving intense Old Man Logan energy as he snarls, stabs, and menaces his way through a bloody world. Well, being an outlaw isn’t all song and dance. You can check out The Death of Robin Hood‘s trailer below.
A24 wants to make it clear that “This is not the Robin Hood you remember.” Instead, this is Robin Hood is all blood, guts, and murder. Well, in this economy, that’s to be expected, we guess. The Death of Robin Hood‘s trailer does a good job of making it plain that there’s no fantastical sheen to the Robin Hood myth. Instead, this sneak peek at The Death of Robin Hood offers up a raw Hugh Jackman performance and a gritty look, we assume, at the reality of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.
