SlashFilm • • entertainment
Key Points:
- "The Death of Robin Hood," directed by Michael Sarnoski, offers a unique and ultra-violent deconstruction of the Robin Hood myth, starring Hugh Jackman as an older, reflective Robin grappling with his past.
- Bill Skarsgård plays Little John, also known as Edward, delivering a transformative performance that obscures his usual recognizable features through makeup, accent, and demeanor.
- Skarsgård is widely known for his role as Pennywise in "It" and its related projects, but he has a diverse acting portfolio including "Hemlock Grove," "Deadpool 2," "Eternals," and "Barbarian."
- The film focuses less on traditional Robin Hood characters, with Little John being one of the few familiar figures, and explores themes of redemption and mortality in a meditative tone.
- "The Death of Robin Hood" is currently playing in theaters, marking a fresh, darker take on a well-worn legend.
