Hugh Jackman Reveals Dramatic Transformation for New Role
Hugh Jackman is giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at his latest film, "The Death of Robin Hood." On Tuesday, the Australian actor took to Instagram with a video showcasing hair and makeup artists transforming him into the movie's titular role. "There is a depth, a camaraderie and a spirit to the entire cast and crew of The Death of Robin Hood. Thank you for this wonderful experience. It is an honor and a privilege. Thank you Ireland!!! Your beauty knows no bounds," he wrote in the post caption.
Along with the video, in which Jackman sports a large mustache, the Instagram post featured photos he presumably took on set while filming the reimagined folktale.
A24 acquired the U.S. rights to the film after it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024, according to Variety.
In "The Death of Robin Hood," Jackman stars alongside "Killing Eve" star Jodie Comer. The film is directed by Michael Sarnoski, who also directed "Pig" and "A Quiet Place: Day One."
In May 2024, Deadline reported that the film is a "darker reimagining" of the classic tale everyone knows. The story centers on Jackman's character, who struggles to come to terms with his past after living as a criminal for so many years.
Speaking to the outlet, Sarnoski said at the time, "Securing the perfect cast to transform the script to screen was essential. I could not be more thrilled and trusting in Hugh and Jodie to bring this story to life in a powerful and meaningful way.”
Multiple celebrities flocked to the comments section of Jackman's social media video, including Kate Hudson, who simply wrote, "Beautiful!"
The movie's release date is not known at this time.
