The legend of Robin Hood has been told and retold countless times, but there’s always a way to give it a new spin—even if it’s just turning Robin into a cartoon fox. The Death of Robin Hood, directed by Michael Sarnosky, aims to demythologize the myth by portraying Robin Hood (Hugh Jackman) as the Wanted posters claim him to be: a thief and murderer, with a wild life and ill-gotten gains. The film’s tagline says it straight: “He was no hero.”
If that sounds intriguing, the good news is that you can watch The Death of Robin Hood from the comfort of your own home starting July 28, 2026. Distributor A24 has announced that the film is coming to digital platforms and will be available to rent or buy from that date.
The Death of Robin Hood starred together Bill Skarsgård as Robin’s old friend Little John (who has since changed his name to Edward), and Jodie Comer as Brigid, a nun who shelters and treats Robin after he is wounded in one of his many morally questionable battles. While Sarnoski’s first two films, The Pig and A Quiet Place: Day One, were critically acclaimed, reviews of The Death of Robin Hood were more mixed, with reviewers who liked it emphasizing its bleakness and brutality (including /Evangelista’s own Chris) and those who did not.
The Death of Robin Hood opened widely, but the box office was weak, and after its second weekend, it became almost impossible to find on the big screen. If you missed his dash across the theaters, now’s your chance to judge Robin Hood’s exploits for yourself.
