  "content": "Fresh off playing a scene-stealing Princess Peach in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Anya Taylor-Joy is swapping the cosmos for something far older and far more earthbound. Middle-earth, to be precise. The Furiosa and Dune: Part Two star has signed on to Andy Serkis' ever-expanding The Lord Of The Rings: The Hunt For Gollum, adding yet another marquee fantasy franchise to her already impressive run.\n\nWhich Character Is She Playing?\n\nThe obvious guesses came thick and fast: Arwen? Galadriel? Goldberry? In fact, it is none of them. Taylor-Joy will instead play Seren, a completely new Elf created specifically for Serkis' film, which bridges the gap between The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings.\n\nWhat We Know About Seren\n\nThe name itself carries a clue: Seren is the Welsh word for 'star'. Beyond that, TrendKia has a few more details on the character. According to the description, Seren is a Sindarin Elf of the Woodland Realm and is billed as “a trusted and lethal agent” of King Thranduil, the Elven king played by Lee Pace in The Hobbit movies, who is set to reprise the role here. Because there is no direct equivalent for her in J.R.R. Tolkien's books, the rest of her story is being kept firmly under wraps while production rolls on.\n\nWhen Is The Film Set?\n\nSerkis' fantasy epic follows Aragorn and Gandalf as they track down Gollum, hoping to learn what he knows about Bilbo Baggins' ring. The events unfold in the window between Bilbo's birthday party in Fellowship Of The Ring and the Fellowship's arrival at the Mines of Moria.\n\nWho Else Is In The Cast?\n\nTaylor-Joy joins a deep ensemble. Elijah Wood returns as Frodo and Sir Ian McKellen as Gandalf, alongside Lee Pace as Thranduil. Kate Winslet plays Marigol, reportedly Gollum/Sméagol's Stoor Hobbit grandmother, while Leo Woodall takes on Dúnedain man Halvard, believed to be one of the Rangers of the North travelling with Aragorn/Strider on his hunt for Gollum. With a line-up this stacked, the wait until 17 December, 2027 feels longer by the day.\n\nWhat this means for you\nWhat it means for fans:\n\n• Lord Of The Rings fans get a fresh expansion of the franchise, with a brand-new Elf, Seren, and Anya Taylor-Joy joining the cast.\n• The film arrives on 17 December, 2027, so the new chapter is still some way off.\n\nQuestions & Answers\n\n1. Which character is Anya Taylor-Joy playing?\nShe is playing Seren, a brand-new Elf, described as a Sindarin Elf of the Woodland Realm and a trusted, lethal agent of King Thranduil.\n\n2. What does the name Seren mean?\nSeren is the Welsh word for 'star'.\n\n3. When does the film release?\nThe Lord Of The Rings: The Hunt For Gollum is set to release on 17 December, 2027.\n\n4. When is the story set?\nIt takes place between Bilbo's birthday party and the Fellowship's arrival at the Mines of Moria, as Aragorn and Gandalf hunt for Gollum.",
