A24 Buys U.S. Rights to ‘The Death of Robin Hood,’ Starring Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer From Lyrical Media and Ryder Picture Company

The film will find Robin Hood “grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder.” Instead of the merry outlaw seen in certain previous versions of the story, like the one portrayed by Errol Flynn, this Robin Hood is “a battle-worn loner [who] finds himself gravely injured and in the hands of a mysterious woman, who offers him a chance at salvation.”

Production on “The Death of Robin Hood” is set to begin in 2025.

A24 will release the film theatrically.

Negotiations were highly competitive with several potential buyers circling the film.

“This is not the story of Robin Hood we’ve all come to know,” said Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett of RPC. “Instead, Michael has crafted something far more grounded and visceral. Thanks to Alexander Black and our friends at Lyrical along with Rama and Michael, the world is going to love seeing Hugh and Jodie together in this epic.”

Production is due to begin in February 2025.
