Robin Hood: Origins

[Raph's Girl]

Just how many fricken Robin Hood movies are coming out? Now we have Robin Hood: Origins starring Taron Egerton as Robin Hood, Eve Hewson as Maid Marion and Jaimee Foxx as Little John.

Described as an origin story in the vein of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, Robin Hood: Origins aims for a new take on the folk hero. The story finds Robin Hood (played by Kingsman: The Secret Service‘s Taron Egerton) returning from The Crusades to discover a Sherwood Forest rife with corruption and evil. Teaming with a band of outlaws, he takes matters into his own hands to set things right, with very little merry-making along the way.

Also a description of Little John: “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 to the young hero.”

Considering they faught on opposite sides this means Little John is a Moor.
