“It has been an incredible opportunity to reinvent and freshly innovate the story we all know of Robin Hood. 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.” (Movieweb)

Make a Logan-style Robin Hood movie with Jackman. Don’t tie it in with any cinematic universe what-so-ever. Just do a rough, beautiful, emotional tale about an older Hoodie. Have Michael Saronski direct. Give him full control. Watch the box office explode
