Robin Hood Pulls Off a Heist, and Sparks a Revolt, in New Trailer

Jamie Foxx’s Little John trains Taron Egerton’s Robin of Loxley in the ways of the thief in the first full-length trailer for Lionsgate’s Robin Hood.

The new footage plays up director Otto Bathurst’s Batman Begins-like take on the legendary hero, as a former lord and Crusader is transformed into a noble bandit by his Moorish commander, all to lead a revolt against the corrupt English crown. The trailer also introduces a heist sequence that would feel right at home in any number of films, except this one has Ben Mendelsohn as the Sheriff of Nottingham, which gives it a leg up on the competition.
