The Lord of the Rings producers have secured an ethereal beauty to star in the next installment of the hugely popular franchise. Emmy nominee Anya Taylor-Joy, 30, is set to play the elf Seren, a new character in the series, in The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum. The Warner Bros. production—directed by Andy Serkis, who will also return as Gollum—is scheduled for worldwide release in December 2027. Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, and Lee Pace will reprise their roles as Gandalf, Frodo, and Thranduil, respectively. They’ll be joined by Kate Winslet, Jamie Dornan, and Leo Woodall, all newcomers to the franchise. Taylor-Joy’s character is described by the production as “a Sindar Elf of the Woodland Realm, a trusted and lethal agent of King Thranduil.” The Furiosa actress has had a busy year, starring as Princess Peach in the box office smash The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and taking on a cameo in the upcoming third installment of Dune. She also stars in a new Apple TV series, Lucky.
