Summary
Anya Taylor-Joy has been cast as Seren, an original character in The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, adding a previously unseen figure to the franchise.
Seren’s role is still undisclosed, but the report suggests she is likely a Silvan elf, linking her to Mirkwood, where Gollum was once held before his escape.
The growing cast includes Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Jamie Dornan as Strider, Lee Pace as Thranduil, Elijah Wood as Frodo and Kate Winslet as Marigol.
Andy Serkis has said the film is still in early preparation, with shooting planned for early to mid-2027 in New Zealand ahead of a Dec. 17, 2027 release.
