The minds behind the spinoff say it's too early to figure out if other beloved characters could appear.
The announcement that Andy Serkis would both star in and direct the spinoff The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum initially excited fans because of the beloved character's return, which then sparked speculation about whether we'll be seeing any other figures from the original The Lord of the Rings trilogy making appearances.
While fans will understandably be curious about familiar characters showing up in the new project, Serkis addressed the possibility of former collaborators getting involved in the project in any capacity, which would include taking on new roles.
