The artisans behind “The Death of Robin Hood,” including hair designer Sean Flanigan and costume designer Lorna Mugan, wanted Hugh Jackman to become unrecognizable as Robin Hood. But of course, director Michael Sarnoski‘s (“Pig,” “A Quiet Place: Day One”) vision for Robin Hood is much darker than most filmed adaptations.

“This was really rough and rugged, and just downright earthy in a weird way. And I have never seen him completely silver with long hair like this,” Flanigan tells Variety of Jackman’s transformation. “And once we put it all together with the costumes and the beard, we had Robin Hood.”
