Jamie Foxx is set to
play Little John in Otto Bathurst's upcoming gritty take on Robin Hood. Foxx
joins Kingsman: The Secret Service breakout star Taron Egerton as the titular
Robin Hood, and Eve Hewson as Maid Marian.
Foxx's Little John is
a "battle-hardened but war-weary veteran of The Crusades who starts out
distrustful of Robin Hood (they fought on opposite sides), and then warms up to
the young hero."
Robin Hood: Origins
is expected to begin production either in the late summer or fall, after Egerton
finishes filming the Kingsman sequel.
Bathurst is known for
having directed episodes of the British gangster show Peaky Blinders starring
Cillian Murphy and Sam Neill, and Criminal Justice starring Ben Whishaw. The
latter earned him a BAFTA.
