“The ring was just the beginning… Now comes the reckoning.”

The dragon is dead. The gold lies silent. But beneath the frost of the north, something older than dragons begins to awaken.

In The Hobbit 5: War of the Wraiths, Middle-earth faces its most terrifying reckoning yet. Jason Statham steps into the role of Bilbo Baggins, no longer just the burglar who outwitted Smaug — but a haunted soul, returning to the Shire with the One Ring heavy in his pocket and the whispers of something ancient gnawing at his mind. Peace eludes him. Shadows stretch longer. The Ring is stirring… and so is the darkness it once served.

🧙‍♂️ Far to the north, Gandalf the Grey (played with imposing wisdom by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) investigates a rising evil long dismissed as myth. Within the frozen ruins of Angmar, he discovers a secret buried even from the White Council — a Wraith Legion, bound in the First Age and now breaking free. Their leader: Mor’Ghal, the Wraithlord of the Frozen Crown, once a servant of Morgoth, now rising to forge a new dominion over life, death… and the Ring.

❄️ These are not the Nine. They are something worse — the Wraithborn, beings caught between shadow and soul, feeding on memory and fear. With every village razed and every mind bent, they herald the return of a deeper darkness. One that predates even Sauron.

🛡️ As war looms once again over the free peoples, Bilbo is called back into a world he thought he’d left behind. Joined by a new fellowship of unlikely allies — a grieving elven warrior of Mirkwood, a banished dwarven prince bearing Durin’s bloodline, a Gondorian tracker with ties to the Witch-king — they must venture north, into lands twisted by ice, ruin, and spirit, to stop the Wraiths before they reach Mordor’s edge.

🕯️ But every step brings Bilbo closer to the Ring’s true nature… and to the cost of keeping it. For the Wraiths seek more than conquest. They seek the Ringbearer himself — and what he carries may tip the balance between light and shadow once and for all.

🎬 The Hobbit 5: War of the Wraiths is a sweeping, sorrow-tinged finale to Bilbo’s legend — a story of honor, sacrifice, and the echoes of forgotten evil. With soaring vistas, chilling battles against spectral armies, and a final test of courage at the end of the world, it is a thunderous return to Tolkien’s mythos — and a bridge between hobbit-sized humility and the towering fate of Middle-earth.
