He leads a band of outlaws and crosses paths with the Sheriff of Nottingham <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/08\/08\/got-star-sean-bean-intimacy-coordinators-spoil-sex-scenes\/\">(Sean Bean<\/a>), while Marian infiltrates the courts, where she meets the queen, Eleanor (Nielsen).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since Nielsen is an old hand at period dramas, she rescued the production from making a major blunder.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI came on set on one of the first days, and I\u2019m looking at my regal chambers.
