“Robin Hood: Men in Tights 2” (2026) brings Mel Brooks’ outrageous parody back to the screen with a new wave of absurd humor, musical chaos, and gloriously over-the-top heroics. The film reunites Robin, his loyal Merry Men, and the ever-resourceful Maid Marian as they face a bizarre new threat to the kingdom of England—one even sillier than the last. Years have passed since Robin last outwitted Prince John and the Sheriff, and life in Sherwood Forest has settled into a comfortable, if comically disorganized, routine. That peace shatters when a pompous new villain arrives: the Duke of Dunceworth, a self-proclaimed genius whose intelligence is as flimsy as his wig.
The Duke plots to privatize the entire forest, turning Sherwood into an exclusive resort for nobles who have no idea how nature works. With ridiculous rules, overpriced entry fees, and mandatory codpiece inspections, the Duke’s reign quickly becomes unbearable for peasants and outlaws alike. Robin, horrified by the thought of losing his beloved home, rallies the Merry Men once more. But the years have changed them: Little John has taken up interpretive dance, Blinkin insists he can “see emotions,” and Will Scarlet has rebranded himself as a medieval fashion designer. None of these new talents are remotely useful, but that never stops them.
Meanwhile, Maid Marian is leading her own rebellion of castle-bound ladies demanding equal sword-fighting lessons and improved castle plumbing. Her confidence and sharp wit play an even stronger role this time around, and she quickly becomes the brains of the operation while Robin provides… enthusiastic encouragement.
To restore Sherwood, the group embarks on a series of misadventures involving questionable disguises, a disastrous musical number performed on horseback, and a jousting tournament that turns into a tap-dancing competition after a scheduling mix-up. Along the way, they encounter new allies, including a sarcastic minstrel who refuses to sing on command and a monk who only speaks in rhyme, much to everyone’s annoyance.
The Duke of Dunceworth, desperately trying to appear threatening, builds a giant wooden contraption that he claims is “the ultimate weapon.” It turns out to be a catapult that launches chickens—angry chickens—but still chickens. Robin and his crew, barely holding back laughter, prepare for the final showdown.
In a climactic battle filled with slapstick chaos, misfired arrows, and accidental heroism, the Merry Men ultimately triumph through a mixture of bravery, dumb luck, and spontaneous musical choreography. Sherwood is restored, the Duke’s schemes crumble, and the kingdom is saved once again—though no one is quite sure how.
“Robin Hood: Men in Tights 2” ends with a jubilant forest celebration, complete with a new, hilariously earnest ballad about friendship, tights, and the questionable fashion choices of medieval England. The film proudly embraces its ridiculous roots, offering a joyful reminder that sometimes the best adventures are the ones that refuse to take themselves seriously.
