# Jackman's Robin Hood film rollout and theatrical release > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/the-death-of-robin-hood-film-promotion > Updated: 2026-08-12T19:36:27.000Z. Sources: 88. Developments: 24. The dark A24 re-imagining *The Death of Robin Hood* starring Hugh Jackman premiered in U.S. theatres on 19 June 2026 after a limited debut on 3 July 2026. Written and directed by Michael Sarnoski, the 123-minute drama-adventure deconstructs the Robin Hood myth with a post-apocalyptic visual tone, earning a 71% Rotten Tomatoes score. The film follows an aged, wounded Robin (Jackman) in 1247 AD seeking redemption at a remote priory overseen by Sister Brigid (Jodie Comer). The cast includes Bill Skarsgård as a grim Little John, Faith Delaney, Murray Bartlett, and Noah Jupe. Prior to release, promotional featurettes highlighted the film's gritty, adult-oriented vision. The world premiere was held on 10 June in New York City, attended by Jackman and co-star Sutton Foster, an appearance that drew mixed social media reactions. Early critical reception was divided, with some praising Jackman's raw performance and others criticizing the film's slow pacing and bleak tone. Despite positive critical notes, the film's domestic box office performance was reported as underwhelming, grossing approximately $2.9 million against a $20 million budget. International windows opened in Germany (18 June), Italy (12 August) as “Robin Hood – Il prezzo del sangue,” and the UK/Ireland (2 September). In Italy, the film is described as a “noir-inspired portrayal” that draws inspiration from traditional folklore regarding the death of Robin Hood at Kirklees Priory, focusing on the “melancholy and violent end of the myth.” The Italian production involves Lyrical Media and Ryder Picture Company in collaboration with A24. Parallel to this, Jackman has been confirmed as Long John Silver in Ridley Scott’s *Treasure Island* adaptation, targeted for production around 2028. On 1 July 2026, the film entered video-on-demand. This launch coincided with reports regarding the disappearance of the historic “Major Oak” in Sherwood Forest. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-12: The Death of Robin Hood film starring Hugh Jackman premieres Hugh Jackman stars in ‘The Death of Robin Hood’, a dark and violent revisionist film directed by Michael Sarnoski that reimagines the legendary outlaw as a weary mercenary seeking redemption. 11 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/the-death-of-robin-hood-film-reimagines-legend-as-dark-drama ### 2026-08-08: Robin Hood – Il prezzo del sangue to release in Italy Directed by Michael Sarnoski and starring Hugh Jackman, the film “Robin Hood – Il prezzo del sangue” arrives in Italian theaters on August 12, offering a dark reinterpretation of the classic legend. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/robin-hood-il-prezzo-del-sangue-to-release-in-italy ### 2026-07-31: Hugh Jackman Leads Dark New Robin Hood Film ‘Il prezzo del sangue’ Michael Sarnoski’s new Robin Hood film, starring Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer, offers a dark, introspective take and is slated for a 18 June 2026 release, with Italy seeing it on 12 August. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/hugh-jackman-leads-dark-new-robin-hood-film-il-prezzo-del-sangue ### 2026-07-20: Robin Hood movies broadcast on Rai Movie in Italy Rai Movie in Italy aired Ridley Scott's Robin Hood starring Russell Crowe and the gritty reinterpretation Robin Hood – Il prezzo del sangue with Hugh Jackman. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/robin-hood-movies-broadcast-on-rai-movie-in-italy ### 2026-07-17: The Death of Robin Hood film starring Hugh Jackman released The dark Robin Hood film *The Death of Robin Hood*, starring Hugh Jackman and directed by Michael Sarnoski, debuted on VOD July 1, offering a gritty reinterpretation of the legend amid news of the Major Oak's ( 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/the-death-of-robin-hood-film-starring-hugh-jackman-released ### 2026-07-11: Robin Hood Reimagined in New Film 'La muerte de Robin Hood The new film *La muerte de Robin Hood* stars Hugh Jackman as a guilt‑ridden, violent Robin, reshaping the classic hero in line with recent trend of sympathetic villains. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/robin-hood-reimagined-in-new-film-la-muerte-de-robin-hood ### 2026-07-04: Michael Sarnoski's Dark 'Robin Hood' Film Set for 2026 Release Michael Sarnoski's 2026 *Robin Hood* film, starring Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer, promises a dark, violent take on the legend. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/michael-sarnoskis-dark-robin-hood-film-set-for-2026-release ### 2026-07-02: Hugh Jackman's 'The Death of Robin Hood' darkens the legend Michael Sarnoski’s 2026 film “The Death of Robin Hood”, starring Hugh Jackman, offers a dark, violent re‑imagining of the legend, emphasizing brutality and myth deconstruction. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/robin-hood-film-the-death-of-robin-hood-offers-a-dark-violent-reimagining ### 2026-06-28: Hugh Jackman leads A24’s dark reimagining of Robin Hood Hugh Jackman heads A24’s dark, introspective take on Robin Hood in “The Death of Robin Hood,” releasing July 3, with a major physical transformation and a prestige‑focused production. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/hugh-jackman-leads-a24s-dark-reimagining-of-robin-hood ### 2026-06-22: Hugh Jackman's Robin Hood flop and upcoming Treasure Island casting Jackman's Robin Hood film flopped with $2.9 M box office, and he is set to play Long John Silver in a planned Treasure Island adaptation. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/hugh-jackmans-robin-hood-flop-and-upcoming-treasure-island-casting ### 2026-06-21: Hugh Jackman leads brutal revisionist film ‘The Death of Robin Hood’ A24’s *The Death of Robin Hood* stars Hugh Jackman as a grim, violent outlaw;
