A Lord of the Rings new movie is reportedly in the works with a tentative 2026 release date!

As reported, the movie being directed and stars Andy Serkis has a working title “The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum.”

The project is currently in the early stages of script development by writers Walsh and Boyens.

On Thursday, in a press release Warner Bros. studio revealed that the working title for the film is “Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum,” and it will be directed by and star Serkis in his iconic titular role.

The film will be executive produced by Ken Kamins, with Serkis and The Imaginarium’s Jonathan Cavendish.

On the other hand, a separate, animated Middle-earth movie, “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim,” is set for release on December 13 via Warner Bros. and director Kenji Kamiyama.

As reported, the said movie is set 200 years before the events of “The Hobbit.”

Back in February 2023, Warner Bros. first announced that then-newly installed studio leaders Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy had brokered a deal to make “multiple” films based on the beloved J.R.R. Tolkien books.

“The Lord of the Rings” trilogy is based on the classic fantasy series written by J.R.R. Tolkien which consists of three books:

“The Lord of the Rings” trilogy was adapted into a highly acclaimed film series directed by Peter Jackson.

The trilogy consists of three movies:

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

This film follows the journey of Frodo Baggins and his companions as they set out to destroy the One Ring. It introduces the key characters and sets the stage for the epic quest.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)

The second instalment continues the journey, with Frodo and Samwise Gamgee heading towards Mordor while the rest of the fellowship faces various challenges and battles in Middle-earth.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)

The final film concludes the story as the forces of good and evil clash in the epic Battle of the Pelennor Fields and the fate of Middle-earth hangs in the balance.
