The Hunt for Gollum 2 (2024) opens with a sweeping shot of Middle-earth, shrouded in mist and foreboding silence. A voice echoes through the darkness—Gandalf (Ian McKellen), his tone grave: “The creature is more dangerous than ever… he must be found.” Gollum has vanished since the events of the first film, and now, a new darkness stirs beyond Mordor.

The camera cuts to Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), battle-hardened and weary, once again tasked with tracking Gollum. Joined by Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies), the trio embarks on a perilous journey through uncharted territories of Middle-earth, racing against time to capture the elusive creature before he falls into the wrong hands. Whispers of an emerging dark power grow louder—someone seeks to exploit Gollum’s knowledge of the One Ring for sinister ends.

The tension mounts as glimpses of Gollum (Andy Serkis) flash across the screen—his obsession with the Ring consuming him, his fractured mind caught between Smeagol’s pleading innocence and Gollum’s ruthless cunning. The chase intensifies through treacherous landscapes—dense forests, towering peaks, and shadowed caverns—where Aragorn and his allies relentlessly pursue their prey.

The trailer takes a dramatic turn with the reveal of a new villain—a sorcerer from the East, played by Richard Armitage, whose dark designs threaten the fate of Middle-earth itself. As the stakes escalate, Aragorn and his companions prepare for an inevitable confrontation, one that could alter the course of history.

In the final, chilling shot, Gollum lurks in the shadows, his piercing eyes gleaming as he mutters: “No one will take it from us… no one.” The screen fades to black, and the title The Hunt for Gollum 2 appears, followed by the ominous tagline: “The hunt continues, but time is running out.”
