'Robin Hood': Robin And Little John Start An Uprising In New Photos

Robin Hood's latest foray into theaters is right around the corner, and we've got some exclusive photos from the anticipated film.

The new take on Robin Hood comes from Otto Bathurst (Peaky Blinders) and stars Taron Egerton, Jamie Foxx, and Ben Mendelsohn, and will feature a much grittier take on the beloved character. There will still be humor of course, but it seems Bathurst is going for a more grounded version of Robin of Loxley, though as Egerton explains, there will be big parts of the character you'll recognize.

"My Robin Hood, as with Kevin Costner's, he's a soldier," Egerton told ComicBook.com. "We find him out in Syria. I don't think that's too much to say. He's flawed, my Robin Hood. He's a little self-involved and a little self-serving but over the course of the film becomes the hero of the legend. I suspect I'm probably one of the younger Robin Hoods but it's very dark. Gritty. I'm hoping that it will be very funny. Jamie Foxx is Little John. Ben Mendelsohn is the Sheriff of Nottingham. Tim Minchin is Friar Tuck. We've got some people with real, not only incredible acting skills, but also great comic chops, as well. It should have a bit of everything, he says hopefully."

Fans will see other iconic pieces of the Robin Hood mythos, including Marian, Friar Tuck, Nottingham, and more, and you can get an idea of what to expect with exclusive photos from the film on the next slide
