THE main (and final) trailer for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies has been released and it’s an epic-send off to the end of the saga.

Everyone from Bilbo Baggins to Thorin Oakenshield and the Dwarves of Erebor to Gandalf have their work seriously cut out for them in the trailer that has just about every Tolkien actor in it.

“Pretty much every character from the last two Hobbit films, plus plenty of Lord of the Rings characters who never show up in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit (looking at you, Legolas), will make an appearance in The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies,” reports Time magazine.

Cate Blanchett as Galadriel and Sir Ian McKellen as Gandalf.

Bilbo Baggins will return.

“They’ll all come together for a 45-minute battle scene that’s bound to get fans who yearned for the good old days of Return of the King after watching that endless barrel fighting scene in last year’s The Desolation of Smaug excited.

Bilbo will also be left to deal with Benedict Cumberbatch’s dragon who is still causing havoc and is yet to be slayed.

The final instalment in Peter Jackson’s Middle-Earth saga opens in theatres in late December.
