A new The Lord of the Rings film is confirmed to be coming to cinemas later in 2024.
The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is an animated prequel to The Lord of the Rings trilogy which itself was adapted into Oscar-winning films at the start of the 2000s.
This time around, The War of the Rohirrim is an animated feature set 183 years before the events of The Two Towers.
During the Warner Bros panel at CinemaCon 2024, ComicBook.com reports it’s on track with a release during the Holiday 2024 window being confirmed at the event.
The film has already been delayed – it was set for release in April 2024 but Warner Bros pushed the release back to Holiday 2024 last year.
A specific release date is not yet confirmed.

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim reportedly tells the story Helm Hammerhand, a legendary King of Rohan who must defend against an army of Dunlendings.
He becomes the namesake for the stronghold of Helm’s Deep.
Further details of what to expect have not yet been confirmed but much of the voice cast has already been revealed.
