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 “Robin Hood – Il prezzo del sangue," 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" “Major Oak” in Sherwood Forest. In Italy, Rai Movie aired both Scott’s mainstream version and Sarnoski’s version on 20 July 2026.
