In total, the two Peter Jackson trilogies based on the work of JRR Tolkien have generated more than $6 billion worldwide for Warner Bros. So perhaps it should come as no surprise to learn that parent company Warner Bros. Discovery has reached a deal to make more films.
To be clear, these planned new movies will be separate from The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim, the animated story of the house of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary king of Rohan. This is already headed to the screens next April 12th.
