The long awaited Lord of the Rings sequel is here

Warner Bros. has announced a new sequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which has amassed a large fanbase in the last decade all over the world

Peter Jackson, the director of the trilogy reveals that the new movie, "The Hunt for Gollum" will be released in 2026, and is currently in the scripting phase

The trilogy which is based on  J.R.R Tolkien's novels is also set to re-release this year in theatres with an extended version and 4K Ultra HD picture quality

Surprisingly, Andy Serkis who is playing the role of Gollum is also the director of the film

The new movie will be first of the two new "Lord of the Rings" movies that are on the way

This will particularly focus on Smeagol who got the One Ring and became a Gollum as evident from the poster

Some fans are presuming it with the Amazon Show "The Rings of Power" which is set 200 years earlier than the trilogy and is certainly not the same

The movie is surely set to flame great enthusiasm among the fans
