The first official poster for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies has been released at Comic-Con ahead of the movie’s Christmas release.

Hero Bard the Bowman is seen standing defiantly before a fearsome Smaug as Esgaroth is devastated by fire, under a caption reading: “The defining chapter”.

Directed by Peter Jackson, the final instalment in the JRR Tolkien franchise stars Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield and Lee Pace as Thranduil.

Lee Evans plays Bard while Benedict Cumberbatch provides the dragon’s voice. Evangeline Lilly, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom and Manu Bennett also feature, among others.

Looking forward to this movie a lot. I think the casting for the Hobbit series is much better than the LotR films, and has let me enjoy these much more. Freeman and Armitage really fit into their roles well.
