Robin Hood gets a dark makeover in the new official trailer starring Taron Egerton.

Lionsgate released the trailer for its upcoming film this week, featuring Egerton asking one key question: “When do I actually get to, you know, steal?”

The trailer shows Egerton, who plays a war crusader, training to overthrow the corrupt English king with the help of his teacher Little John (Jamie Foxx).

Though many versions of Robin Hood have been adapted for the screen, including a Mel Brooks parody, this particular Robin Hood, directed by Black Mirror’s Otto Bathurst, has a darker tone that includes strategic fight choreography and explosive action sequences.

We’ll see how it turns out when the film hits theatres November 21 in the US.
