Fans Swoon Over 'The Death of Robin Hood' Casting, As Bill Skarsgård Joins Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer

Published 02/07/2025, 5:23 AM CST

Fans got a taste of Hugh Jackman’s prime when he made a grand comeback as Wolverine last year alongside Ryan Reynolds as their movie Deadpool & Wolverine touched the glass ceiling in terms of box office collection. However, portraying a single rogue hero proved insufficient, and the star has already secured a role in the forthcoming The Death of Robin Hood. Surprisingly, it was not him but Bill Skarsgard's casting that really cracked the deal with fans, as they are excited to see his comeback in the movie.

The Death of Robin Hood directed by Michael Sarnoski, who is also the writer of the film, has been generating immense buzz since the announcement of Bill Skarsgård's casting. Catapulting it to be the most talked-about film in the town, fans have been discussing the Swedish actor's involvement, with many expressing their excitement about seeing him bring his unique intensity, style, and tone to the role. While some fans are drawing parallels between Skarsgård's portrayal of Pennywise in IT and his potential performance in The Death of Robin Hood.
