Comic Con: Press Line Interviews for The Hobbit The Battle of Five Armies!

Last Updated on February 5, 2026

As a massive fan of Peter Jackson and all things Middle-earth, I was delighted this year at Comic Con to take on the WB’s press line for THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES. While there, we spoke to Cate Blanchett, Luke Evans, Benedict Cumberbatch, Lee Pace and the incomparable Andy Serkis – who we had the pleasure of speak with for DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. There was a mixture of excitement and awe for this talented group as this series is finally coming to an end with the third installment of THE HOBBIT. You can check out this final chapter when it arrives in theatres this coming December 17th.
