In celebration of Hobbit Day, Warner Bros. Pictures has released an eye-catching new poster for the upcoming animated film, The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim. Fans of the franchise are eagerly anticipating this latest installment, which takes place 200 years before the events of the renowned Peter Jackson trilogy. Introducing Hera: Daughter of Helm Hammerhand The newly released poster showcases Hera, the daughter of Helm Hammerhand, Rohan’s ninth king. Hera is voiced by Gaia Wise, and her presence in the film promises to play a pivotal role in the story. The War of the Rohirrim centers on the legendary tale of Helm Hammerhand, portrayed by Brian Cox, as he defends Rohan against invading forces. Set centuries before the familiar storylines of Frodo and Aragorn, the film delves deep into the rich lore of Rohan and the Rohirrim. Helm’s fierce battles and personal struggles will be brought to life through the direction of Kenji Kamiyama, renowned for his work on Ghost in the Shell. Peter Jackson's Involvement To further excite fans, the poster includes the tagline "Peter Jackson Presents," confirming the legendary director's involvement as an executive producer. While Jackson isn't at the helm this time, his presence behind the scenes assures fans that the film will maintain the spirit and grandeur of his live-action trilogy. https://twitter.com/wbpictures/status/1837884621578817772?ref_srctwsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1837884621578817772%7Ctwgr%5Ea2703513dbc20529b6848baff9db4037ef993b32%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_urlhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Farticles%2Fthe-lord-of-the-rings-war-of-the-rohirrim-gets-a-stunning-new-poster-for-hobbit-day%2F1100-6526624%2F The War of the Rohirrim hits theaters on December 13, and will also feature Miranda Otto reprising her role as Eowyn, who will serve as the film's narrator. The return of Eowyn’s voice is a nod to the fans of the original series and a link between the new story and the iconic trilogy.

Following The War of the Rohirrim, the studio is moving forward with The Hunt for Gollum, with Andy Serkis returning not only to voice the iconic character but also to direct the film. Slated for a 2026 release, this project promises to offer a deeper look into Gollum’s story. A Day of Celebration for Tolkien Fans The reveal of The War of the Rohirrim poster coincides with Hobbit Day, a special date that marks the joint birthdays of two of Middle-earth’s most beloved characters: Frodo and Bilbo Baggins. September 22 has become a day of celebration for Tolkien fans around the world, and this poster serves as the perfect gift for the community. In addition to the movie reveal, Warner Bros. also announced the release date for the upcoming game Tales of the Shire, a cozy, narrative-driven game set in Tolkien’s universe. The game promises to offer a more peaceful, pastoral experience compared to the high-stakes adventures of other Lord of the Rings titles and will be available next year.
