Fans spot HUGE problem with the poster for Taron Egerton’s new Robin Hood movie – but did you see it?
The shot shows the Welsh actor, known for his role in Kingsman, with a stern expression and his hood pulled-up
POSTERS for the new Robin Hood film starring Taron Egerton were released this week - but fans spotted a huge problem.
The dark and moody shot shows the Welsh actor, best known for his role as Eggsy in Kingsman, with a stern expression and his hood pulled-up.
But social media users have pointed out a small issue with his costume - the perfect machine stitching.
This wouldn't be a problem in any modern-day movie, except Robin Hood is based on life in medieval England and centuries before the first sewing machine was invented.
Some compared it to a Superdry jacket, while others slammed producers for not even trying to fake hand sewn costumes.
Gavia Baker-Whitelaw tweeted: "nothing says Robin Hood like a machine-stitched hoodie".
Dolores wrote: "What in the world? I can't believe they did this. Fully machine stitched. Looking at production stills, all costumes obviously machine stitched. They didn't even try to fake hand sewn. The New Robin Hood line, coming to a GAP near you."
Another user said: "See, this is the kind of unnecessary hyper-modernisation of the Robin Hood story I'm talking about - @TaronEgerton wearing a jacket that looks like something you'd buy from @Superdry."
One user shared a still from the teaser trailer, which was also released on Thursday, showing Egerton from a wider shot in seemingly the same coat.
Jake T Wightman wrote: "Or a waxed Barbour jacket?"
The movie itself has an all-star cast including Jamie Dornan as Will Scarlet, Jamie Foxx as Little John and Tim Minchin as Friar Tuck.
Star Wars favourite Ben Mendelsohn has been cast as another blockbuster villain, taking on the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Maid Marion is played by Bridge of Spies actress Eve Hewson.
Director Otto Bathurst, who has also worked on Black Mirror and Peaky Blinders, said the new incarnation of the Arthurian vigilante was less "steal from the rich and give to the poor".

He told : "You don’t become a legend for 800 years if you’ve just stolen a few bags of money from rich people to give to the poor.
“In my mind, Robin Hood was this sort of seriously militarised anarchist revolutionary, a freedom thinker and a truth seeker.
"And the more I got into the story, it just became startling how utterly relevant it is to what’s going on in society now.”
Robin Hood is due for release in November.
