How to Watch The Death of Robin Hood in 4K

The Death of Robin Hood is a 2026 American thriller film starring Hugh Jackman as a gravely wounded, aged Robin Hood and Jodie Comer as the prioress who tends to him — and possibly endangers him. Written and directed by Michael Sarnoski and released in the United States by A24 on June 19, 2026, the film adapts the 17th-century ballad Robin Hood's Death into a tense, intimate drama. InfinityTV's library of 150,000+ Movies & Series will carry it in 4K Ultra HD.

What Is The Death of Robin Hood?

The Death of Robin Hood is a 2026 drama written and directed by Michael Sarnoski, the filmmaker behind Pig (2021) and A Quiet Place: Day One (2024). The film is distributed by A24 and was released theatrically in the United States on June 19, 2026, following its world premiere at the 73rd Sydney Film Festival on June 12, 2026.

The film adapts a 17th-century folk ballad that tells the story of Robin Hood's death — a brief, dark poem in which Robin, weakened and ill, seeks treatment from a prioress who draws too much blood and leaves him to die. Sarnoski has expanded this source material into a full dramatic thriller with a modern psychological tension overlaid on the medieval setting.

Cast

• Hugh Jackman as Robin Hood — a skilled archer and notorious outlaw grappling with a lifetime of violence and murder in his final years
• Jodie Comer as Sister Brigid — the prioress of a rural nunnery and a healer
• Bill Skarsgård as Little John — Robin Hood's oldest and most loyal companion
• Murray Bartlett in a supporting role
• Noah Jupe in a supporting role

The Plot

Gravely injured after a battle he believed would be his last, Robin Hood is nursed back to health by Sister Brigid, the prioress of a secluded community. He is pursued by enemies old and new — and deeply troubled by his long history of murder and crime. The story asks whether a man known entirely for violence can find something other than violence at the end of his life, and whether the help he is receiving is genuine or part of a longer calculation.

Critical Reception

The film received positive notices following its Sydney Film Festival premiere. On Rotten Tomatoes, 70% of 97 critics' reviews are positive as of its opening week, with an average rating of 6.3/10. Critics praised Jackman's performance and Sarnoski's restraint with the material.

Production

Principal photography began in early February 2025 in Northern Ireland and wrapped by late March 2025. The Northern Irish landscape provides the medieval setting with minimal digital augmentation — a practical, grounded visual approach consistent with Sarnoski's work on Pig.

Why Hugh Jackman Is the Right Choice for This Robin Hood

What makes this version of Robin Hood different from others?

Most Robin Hood adaptations — from Errol Flynn's Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) through Kevin Costner's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) to Ridley Scott's Robin Hood (2010) — focus on Robin at the height of his powers: the dashing outlaw, the liberator, the man of the people. They show the legend in full bloom.

Sarnoski's film does the opposite. It takes the most obscure corner of the Robin Hood tradition — the death ballad, the final betrayal, the end — and asks what the legend is actually worth when the man beneath it is exhausted, injured, and morally uncertain.

Jackman at this stage of his career brings enormous credibility to the archetype of the aging, haunted hero. His performance as Logan (2017), in which Wolverine confronted decline and death with the same reluctance, established him as an actor capable of carrying this exact register: the physical power reduced, the spirit still present, the cost of a long violent life made visible. Robin Hood's death is, structurally, the same story.

Michael Sarnoski: The Director's Voice

Michael Sarnoski established his voice with Pig (2021), a film whose premise — Nicolas Cage's truffle pig is stolen, and he wants it back — sounds like a straightforward action film but is actually a quiet, devastating study of grief and meaning. Sarnoski used genre expectations to deliver something much more personal. A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) demonstrated he could work at studio scale without losing that intimacy.

The Death of Robin Hood applies the same approach to historical material. A film about a dying outlaw directed by the maker of Pig is not going to be a swashbuckler. It will be something stranger and more internal.

Jodie Comer's Role: Sister Brigid

Jodie Comer, who won the BAFTA and Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress for Killing Eve (2018-2022), plays Sister Brigid — the prioress who, in the original ballad, is the instrument of Robin Hood's death, whether through treachery or incompetence. In Sarnoski's expanded version, the character is a healer whose motivations remain deliberately ambiguous throughout the film. Whether Sister Brigid is a genuine helper, a passive agent of fate, or a deliberate threat is one of the film's central dramatic questions.

Comer's ability to project contradictory intentions simultaneously — warmth and calculation, care and danger — makes her precisely the right casting for this ambiguity.

Bill Skarsgård as Little John

Bill Skarsgård, internationally known as Pennywise in the IT films (2017, 2019), plays Little John — Robin Hood's oldest and most loyal companion. The casting reinforces the film's dark tone: Skarsgård's physical presence (6'4") and his association with menace provide the character with an unsettling weight that a more conventional casting would not deliver.
