The teaser, which you can watch above, promises franchise fans “a groundbreaking journey back to Middle-earth”, as it opens with clips from Peter Jackson’s acclaimed movie trilogy before shifting to the animated story. Set nearly 200 years before Frodo Baggins set out in search of the One Ring, The War of the Rohirrim is set to explore the blood-soaked era of the mighty King of Rohan, Helm Hammerhand (Succession’s Brian Cox), and the origins of the fortress at Helm’s Deep. You know, the one featured heavily in 2002’sThe Lord of the Rings: The Two Towerslengthy battle scene? “We’ve come with an offer to strengthen Rohan,” a character named Freca proposes to the sovereign, as another, Freca’s son Wulf (Luke Pasqualino), addresses Hammerhand’s daughter Héra: “I will seek your hand in marriage.” “Our fathers speak as if I were not even in the room. I do not want to marry you,” Héra (Gaia Wise) tells Wulf in a later scene. “You do not sneak an alliance, you sneak a throne,” Hammerhand growls later on, before he kills Wulf’s father in hand-to-hand combat. “You will pay for this with your life,” a teary-eyed Wulf vows, setting up the fantasy flicks’s premise.

That’s a difficult task that requires a lot of delicate balancing between two types of filmmaking that haven’t collided like this before.” The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim releases theatrically on December 13.
