In just a few months, we will finally get to see Hugh Jackman return to Wolverine, something which he left behind years ago. The actor had no intention to come back to the character that he has been playing for about two decades but when something snapped in him, he decided to join the bandwagon that Ryan Reynolds was on and give Wolverine a second chance.
Needless to say,Deadpool & Wolverineis one of the most anticipated movies of this year, if not the most. However, amidst the hype for the film which brings both Deadpool and Wolverine into the MCU officially, lies yet another Hugh Jackman film that should be recognized. The film in question is A24’s upcoming masterpiece,The Death of Robin Hoodwhich follows a similar theme to that ofLogan(2017).
Hugh Jackman Stars in A24’s Upcoming Film
While fans prepare themselves forHugh Jackman’s return as Wolverine inDeadpool & Wolverine, the actor is all set to appear in yet another film which will probably take cinemas by storm.
At the Cannes market, A24 battled for the U.S. rights toThe Death of Robin Hoodand emerged victorious in a competitive environment. According toVariety, the negotiations were very cut-throat as many potential buyers were circling the film like sharks around their prey. Clearly, there is something about the upcoming film that entertainment companies do not want to miss out on.

In short,The Death of Robin Hoodis about an aging Robin Hood who is burdened by his past and will encounter a woman who will help him attain salvation. Doesn’t this plot sound a little familiar to another Jackman film that was released in 2017? The film that we are talking about is none other than the iconicLoganwhich also saw an aged Logan battling with the demons of his past when Laura (Dafne Keen) helps him see the light.

Sounds like the Robin Hood equivalent to Logan.

Needless to say, A24 seems to have hit the jackpot by acquiring the film’s rights! Production onThe Death of Robin Hoodwill begin in 2025 which means there is still a long way to go before we see Jackman and Comer in action. The best part is that the film will be released theatrically giving fans a chance to watch the masterpiece unfold on the big screen.
Loganis available to stream on Disney+ andDeadpool & Wolverinebe released in theatres on July 19, 2025.
