Both Egerton and Otto Bathurst also agreed that no matter what the time period, Robin Hood and his crusade against corruption, will be relevant, though Egerton also made sure to note that this movie is first and foremost a “popcorn action flick.”
Also speaking with THR, Taron Egerton said that he felt like “there was a scope to tell the story in a very different way,” and that it made a lot of sense to put a “modern spin” on this Robin Hood movie, making it something “exciting, action-packed and fast-paced.”
