“The War of the Rohirrim” stands out for its anime-inspired animation and design, where many fans have been more used to the live-action and CGI-designed output.
Kenji Kamiyama is set to direct the film.
“The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” is set 183 years before Peter Jackson’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ films. The plot follows the legendary king Helm Hammerhand and his family as they defend their kingdom from the Dunlendings.
Actor Brian Cox will voice the Rohan King himself. His role is described as hot-tempered but wise. Director Kamiyama is intrigued by the lore of Helm’s lineage. Actress Gaia Wise will play Hèra, Helm’s rebellious and complicated daughter.

Luke Pasqualino will voice the ruthless leader of the Dunlendings, Wulf, the main antagonist of the film. Unlike past villains within the Lord of the Rings franchise, Wulf is human instead of the typical evil wizard, greedy dragon, or dark, unnatural force.
Additional cast includes Lorraine Ashbourne, Yazdan Qafouri, Benjamin Wainwright, Laurence Ubong Williams, and Janine Duvitski.
