Jack Patten has now been cast as the titular character in MGM+’s upcoming 10-part series, Robin Hood, following his role in War Machine.

The story of Robin Hood has resonated with audiences for ... in an uncredited cameo, Sean Connery as King Richard — a clever nod to his own turn as Robin in Robin and Marian 15 years earlier.

The name’s Connery… Sean Connery ... meeting famous historical and fantastical figures like Napoleon (Ian Holm), Robin Hood (John Cleese), and the personification of Evil (David Warner).
