A new Lord of the Rings film awaits us in 2026.

In 2026, we will see a new Lord of the Rings movie from Warner Bros. Variety reports this to us. According to tradition, this will be a new trilogy. It would seem that the news is good, but considering how the series “Rings of Power” was... I somehow want to hold back my joy. There are no specific details yet. But the most important details are already known!



So, first the bad news. The director will not be Peter Jackson. But he and his writing partners will also reportedly be closely involved in the film "every step of the way." This is encouraging... but not much. It also became known about who the new trilogy will be about. "The Hunt for Gollum" - that's the name of the new film! And the whole plot, of course, will be dedicated to old Sméagol.

Now for the good news. Andy Serkis will return to play Gollum. And that is not all. He will also direct the film. It remains to be believed that the film will not repeat the fate of last year's game "The Lord of the Rings: Gollum", which hit rock bottom several times. Metacritic named the video game the worst project of 2023. So...fingers crossed.

The film is currently in the early stages of script development, so everything is just getting started. Well, what do you think? Is something cool awaiting us or another disappointment?
