As of January 2025, there is no film titled “The Hunt for Gollum 2” released in 2024. However, a new Middle-earth film titled “The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum” is currently in development, with a planned release in 2026. Directed by Andy Serkis, who will also reprise his role as Gollum, the film is produced by Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens.

The narrative is set between Bilbo’s 111th birthday party and the Mines of Moria, focusing on Aragorn’s quest to capture Gollum. This mission is crucial, as Gollum possesses knowledge that could endanger Middle-earth.

There were initial rumors about the film being split into two parts, but screenwriter Philippa Boyens clarified that it will be a single, standalone movie.

As of now, there is no information about a sequel to “The Hunt for Gollum.” The upcoming film aims to delve deeper into this specific chapter of Middle-earth’s history, providing fans with a fresh perspective on the events leading up to the original “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.
