The Two Towers (2002) highlighted battles like Helm’s Deep, its posters showcasing heroic ensembles and dark, looming threats.

These posters, with their rich colors and mythic iconography, became instant classics, reflecting the films’ monumental scope.
The Hobbit trilogy, also directed by Jackson, expanded Middle-earth’s lore. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) reintroduced fans to Bilbo Baggins, with posters emphasizing whimsical adventure and Smaug’s looming presence. The Desolation of Smaug (2013) leaned into darker tones, its posters featuring the dragon’s fiery menace and Legolas’ archery prowess. The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) concluded the saga with epic war imagery, its posters capturing the chaos of battle and Thorin’s tragic arc. These designs blended nostalgia with modern aesthetics, appealing to both new and returning fans.
