US EditionHugh Jackman Is Unrecognizable in Transformation for Robin Hood Role
Director Michael Sarnoski reinterprets Robin Hood as a scarred, complex figure in a warlike story with Hugh Jackman, filmed largely in Northern Ireland over a year.
- Entertainment Weekly's first look shows Hugh Jackman appears largely unrecognizable after a dramatic transformation for The Death of Robin Hood, from A24.
- Having spent the better part of a year, Michael Sarnoski aims to explore Robin Hood's murky origins and the role of folklore in glorifying him, as part of his longtime revisionist project.
- Jackman's transformation relied on hair, beard, makeup and physical preparation that revealed a musclebound physique and used 35mm film to capture harsh on-location weather.
- The story presents Robin Hood as an aging, sometimes monstrous figure wrestling with regret, while Hugh Jackman said the script explores how power can be used for good or bad and offers emotional weight.
- The film mixes myth and revisionism, casts Jodie Comer, actor , and Bill Skarsgård, actor as a former child soldier Little John, aiming for folklore scholars and casual viewers.
