Three new cast members have boardedThe Death of Robin Hood. The upcoming A24 movie presents a new version of the Robin Hood myth, presenting the iconic outlaw (Hugh Jackman) at the end of his life while he is being cared for by a mysterious woman (Jodie Comer) after sustaining an injury. The movie is being directed by Michael Sarnoski, who broke out with his debut feature, the 2021Nicolas Cage moviePig, which he followed by helming the blockbuster horror prequelA Quiet Place: Day One.
PerDeadline,Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett, Noah Jupe have joined the cast ofThe Death of Robin Hood. This marks something of aQuiet Placefranchise reunion, as Jupe starred in the original 2018 movie and its 2021 sequel, though he did not appear in Sarnoski’s installment. At the time of writing, the characters that the three actors will be playing are still under wraps.
Production on the movie is set to commence in Ireland this week, fully financed by Lyrical Media. Lyrical Media’s Alexander Black is producing alongside Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett for Ryder Picture Company banner, as well as Hugh Jackman himself.
What This Means For The Death Of Robin Hood
It Is Assembling A Well-Regarded Cast
All three stars who are joiningThe Death of Robin Hoodare performers from pedigreed titles, and Bartlett is particularly decorated. Before joining the cast of theHugh Jackman movie, the star was already well known for his prominent supporting roles inThe White LotusandWelcome to Chippendales, for which he was nominated for an Emmy apiece. He alsostarred opposite Nick Offerman in the thirdThe Last of Usepisode, “Long, Long Time,”which won him his first and so far only Emmy.
InThe White Lotusseason 1, Murray Bartlett played resort manager Armond, who had a memorable dalliance with staff member Dillon (Lukas Gage).
Skarsgård is another versatile performer who has starred in movies across a variety of genres, including the horror outingsNosferatuandBarbarianand the action titlesJohn Wick: Chapter 4andThe Crow, though he is still perhapsbest known for his breakout role as the shapeshifting evil clown Pennywise in the 2017 Stephen King adaptationItand its sequel. Jupe is also known for his genre titles, given his status as aQuiet Placealumnus, but he has also appeared in well-regarded movies and series such asFord v FerrariandFranklin.
Our Take On The Death Of Robin Hood Casting Update
The Size Of The Overall Cast Is Still Unknown
With these three new additions,The Death of Robin Hoodis beginning to flesh out the world around the main characters. However, the plot synopsis makes it seem as though theA24 moviewill largely be a two-hander between Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer, so it ispossible that no further stars will be brought on board. Even if that is the case, the incoming performers have enough experience to bring the movie to life with aplomb.
