New Gollum-Focused LOTR Movie Announced With Peter Jackson And Andy Serkis, Aiming For 2026 Release
During Warner Bros. Discovery's latest earnings briefing, CEO David Zaslav announced that a new Lord of the Rings movie is now in development. It's in the script phase, the executive said. WBD first announced its plans to make more Lord of the Rings movies back in 2023.
