Spider-Man star's new movie bizarrely reveals it's actually a Robin Hood origin story, weeks before its release

Andrew Garfield as Robin Hood in The Uprising.

We're just a few weeks out from the release of Paul Greengrass' and Andrew Garfield's new movie, and it's had a pretty sharp turn in its marketing. The movie, which was previously simply called The Uprising, has been renamed 'The Uprising: The Rise of Robin Hood', seemingly suggesting it's an origin story for the fictional hero.

Up until this point, the trailers have simply seemed to suggest the movie follows a young, frustrated man who becomes the leader of a rebellion against King Richard II. Garfield plays the lead, named only as Ploughman, as it depicts the notorious English Peasants' Revolt in 1381.
