With the new movie slated to release in December 2027, Elijah is hopeful the casting and story will satisfy longtime fans, especially given the fact that Peter and Andy are onboard.
“It’s always a little nerve-racking when people talk about new movies for a world like Middle-earth. Everyone gets a little protective and hopes it retains its level of integrity, but this story is fun, thrilling,” he explained. “There is a genuine feeling of getting the band back together.”
“And I can also recognize what fun that is going to be—when you are in the cinema and you see the hat turn around and it’s Gandalf,” the Green Street alum added. “Because I’m also a fan, and excited to see how it all comes together.”
While fans may have to wait a bit longer until the fantasy film hits theaters, keep reading to see what other films premiere this year.
