Warner Bros. has a new Lord of the Rings movie in the works, and it already has a tentative release window. Adapting J. R. R. Tolkien’s beloved fantasy novel series, Peter Jackson’s first acclaimed Lord of the Rings trilogy was released from 2001 to 2003. The filmmaker would subsequently return to the world of Middle-earth with his more divisive Hobbit trilogy in the 2010s. Since then, new projects in the franchise have included The Rings of Power on Prime Video and an upcoming anime movie, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.
Now, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav reveals during a recent earnings call (via Variety) that a new batch of The Lord of the Rings movies is in development. The first of these movies, which is said to be in the early script stage, could be released as early as 2026. Jackson and his writing partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens are serving as producers on the movie and are said to be fairly heavily involved. Story details were not revealed, but Zaslav said the film will “explore storylines yet to be told.”
