Kingsman star Taron Egerton can be seen swinging on ropes, wielding a bow and arrow and stealing bags of gold in the first trailer for the new big screen version of Robin Hood.
In the teaser, mystery surrounds the identity of the hooded vigilante and Egerton suggests a bounty on his head until he is caught or killed.
