The story is set 200 years before the events of The Hobbit, that is, before Bilbo Baggins discovers the One Ring. It centres on the House of Helm Hammerhand, led by King of Rohan, but the focus is on his daughter, Princess Héra. A short teaser clip revealed a dispute during a council meeting, with Wulf, a Dunlending lord, seeking revenge. Éowyn, the shieldmaiden of Rohan, serves as the movie’s narrator.

Brian Cox, Gaia Wise, Luke Pasqualino, Miranda Otto, Laurence Ubong Williams, and Shaun Dooley.
