The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim’: New Animated Film Hits Theaters – Find Out When It Will Be Streaming
Yes, a new Lord of the Rings movie in 2024! This time, it’s an anime prequel titled “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim”, opening in U.S. theaters this weekend.
Set 183 years before the events of Peter Jackson’s The Fellowship of the Ring, the animated film tells the story of Helm Hammerhand (voiced by Brian Cox, from Succession), the quick-tempered king of Rohan, and his fearless daughter Héra (voiced by Gaia Wise). Directed by Japanese filmmaker Kenji Kamiyama, with a screenplay by Jeffrey Addiss, Will Matthews, Phoebe Gittins, and Arty Papageorgiou, the movie promises to take fans on a thrilling journey back to Middle-earth.
Though some speculate that the film primarily exists to maintain Warner Bros.’ rights to the Lord of the Rings franchise, die-hard fans won’t want to miss this unique addition to the saga.
Where to watch ‘The War of the Rohirrim’?
For now, “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” is only available in theaters, with its U.S. release set for December 13. You can find nearby showtimes via Fandango.
While it’s not yet on streaming, the film is expected to land on HBO Max eventually. In the meantime, fans can stream Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy on Max.
Will it be on Netflix?
No, “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” will not be available on Netflix, as it’s a Warner Bros. release and will stream on HBO Max. If you want to watch the film at home, you’ll need to wait for its digital release or its streaming debut on Max.
When will it be available on Max?
There’s no official streaming date yet for “The War of the Rohirrim”, but all new Warner Bros. theatrical releases eventually make their way to Max. Based on previous releases, such as Joker: Folie à Deux, which hit PVOD three weeks after its theatrical debut and began streaming on Max about two months later, we might expect the new Lord of the Rings movie to be available on Max around February or March 2025.
That’s just speculation for now. In the meantime, you can catch “The War of the Rohirrim” in theaters or rewatch Peter Jackson’s classic trilogy on Max.
