Hugh Jackman trades claws for arrows in the raw first trailer for ‘The Death of Robin Hood’, a fresh twist on the legend that ditches green tights for guilt and grit. Freshly unveiled by A24, the thriller stars Jackman as a battle-scarred Robin Hood, gravely injured after what he thought was his final fight. A mysterious healer steps in with a shot at redemption, pulling him from the brink into a soul-searching haze of violence and regret. Also featuring Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett, and Noah Jupe, this one lands in theaters June 4, 2026, promising a dark rethink of the folk hero we thought we knew.
Trailer pulls you into the shadows
The clip opens stark and haunting, no merry men in sight, mud-soaked aftermath, and heavy breaths. Hugh Jackmans Robin mutters “We were monstrous,” owning his outlaw life of crime and kills. Whispers hit like gut punches: “I am the outlaw. Robin Hood.” Forests feel alive yet empty, blooming with “growth and spring” that clash against his broken body. Tense exchanges build the ache, like “I owe you an apology” and “You begged for me to let you die. What’s your name?” Its quiet fury, not epic battles, selling a man crushed by legend’s weight. Every frame drips medieval grit, hinting at salvation’s deep price. Watch this 2-minute and 19 second trailer to know what you are in for
Hugh Jackman owns the weary warrior
Picture Robin not as cheeky thief but haunted killer, grappling with murder and debauchery till a woman’s mercy forces the mirror. Hugh Jackmans rugged stare carries it, channeling Logan-level weariness into folklore. Comer looms as the enigmatic savior, Skarsgård adds brooding edge, while Jupe and Bartlett round out the raw ensemble. Trailer teases a chamber piece of reckoning, far from Sherwood swashbuckles.
