· 3 pulledHugh Jackman is the latest in a long line of legendary actors to take on a legendary character: Robin Hood, the folkloric twelfth-century outlaw who robbed from the rich and gave to the poor.
Performers as varied as Errol Flynn, Sean Connery, Kevin Costner, and a sexy animated fox have all put their personal spin on the role.
Jackman's, in the new movie The Death of Robin Hood, is a darker, revisionist version more akin to his work as Wolverine than his peppy song-and-dance movies.
