Ridley Scott
Ridley Scott has revealed that there could be a Robin Hood sequel in the pipeline.
The director reunites with Russell Crowe for a re-telling of the popular legend and Scott has admitted that he is keen to explore the character of Hood further.
Speaking to The Times Ridley Scott said: "[The first film] is the beginnings of how the man becomes known as Robin the Hood. You don’t really get that until the last few minutes.
"When you realise that ‘Ah, this is who he is’. Let’s say we might presume there’s a sequel. Honestly, I thought why not have the potential for a sequel, particularly if it is a genre that you absolutely love and has never been fully explored?
"If there were to be a sequel to Robin Hood, you would have a constant enemy throughout, King John, and you would follow his reign of 17 years, and the signing of Magna Carta could be Robin’s final act."
Crowe takes on the central role of Robin Hood in the movie and is joined by mark Strong, Cate Blanchett and William Hurt.
Robin Hood is the first movie in the director's chair for Scott since Body of Lies back in 2008, which also starred Crowe.
In the pipeline for the filmmaker includes a new Alien movies as was as The Kind One, a movie Casey Affleck is attached to.
Robin Hood is released 14th May.
