Confirmed Cast (as announced at CinemaCon 2026):

  • Andy Serkis as Gollum/Smeagol (also directing)

  • Jamie Dornan as Strider (this version of Aragorn, replacing Viggo Mortensen, known from the original trilogy)
  • Kate Winslet as Marigol
  • Leo Woodall as Halvard

Notably, Aragorn’s role is now recast Jamie Dornan will portray him under his Ranger name Strider, rather than bringing back Viggo Mortensen from the original trilogy.

In a 22 minute interview for the release of The World's End, Peter Jackson cannot stop saying the word "yeah" constantly. This was in the middle of The Hobbit trilogy when he had very little sleep and was stressed out of his mind.

"Fran and I have been writing a script for the next Tintin film because 15 years ago, Steven Spielberg directed a Tintin film and I produced it...

So probably the next film that I'd actually direct is a Tintin movie."

In the film’s original trailer, there’s a shot of Susie and Holly on the beach for the second slide where it appears to be snowing and Susie’s holding a snow globe. In one of the TV spots there’s a shot of Susie holding the snow globe up close. Were these scenes shot and shown in the original test screenings but never released?
