A24 Releases Jackman‑Narrated Featurettes for Gritty The Death of Robin Hood

Late‑May promos recast the legend as a brutal, morally fraught final chapter and sharpen the studio’s push before the June 19 theatrical debut.

Overview

  • A24 issued multiple late‑May featurettes voiced by Hugh Jackman that frame the film as a stripped‑down, violent reimagining of the Robin Hood legend and use the tagline “He Is No Hero.”
  • The studio’s official synopsis and promo material present Robin as an older man wrestling with a past of crime and murder who is gravely wounded and placed in the care of a mysterious woman, setting a tone of moral ambiguity.
  • Hugh Jackman headlines the cast as an aged Robin of Locksley, joined by Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett and Noah Jupe in roles highlighted by the recent marketing.
  • Michael Sarnoski directs with producers Aaron Ryder, Andrew Swett and Alexander Black attached, and the campaign follows criticism of earlier limited promotion by increasing visibility in the weeks before release.
  • The film opens in U.S. theaters on June 19, 2026, putting A24’s darker take into a crowded summer box‑office slate and signaling continued interest in adult, revisionist versions of classic myths.
