Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings is certainly one of the most famous trilogies ever created. Despite the incredible action, fantastic writing, and memorable characters, one piece of filmmaking always sticks out in re-watches of the trilogy.

“I can tell you definitively it isn’t two films!” Boyens told Empire. “That was a genuine misunderstanding that happened because we’ve begun to work, conceptually, on two different live-action films. The first being The Hunt For Gollum, the second one still to be confirmed.”

Warner Bros. is diving back into Tolkien’s world with new films on the horizon, including ‘The Hunt for Gollum’ set for 2026 and another mysterious project. Let’s break down everything we know so far.

Though The Lord of the Rings reaches a clear conclusion, Tolkien wrote about the future, implying that Middle-earth becomes the world we live in.

Screenwriter Philippa Boyens confirms that The Hunt for Gollum will be just one movie after two-parter rumours.
