We even see some fan favorite Tolkien creatures, from orcs to sea monsters to a motherfucking balrog (!).Īttendees at the panel were also treated to five exclusive clips: one in which Elrond and Durin compete to see who can break the most rocks, with Durin's dwarven brethren heckling Elrond mercilessly another in which Nori, a new Harfoot character, approaches a mysterious man who's crash-landed in a pit of fire (more on Nori and the Harfoots below) another in which new elven character Arondir fights a prison pit full of orcs another in which Elrond and Galadriel reunite, with Galadriel promising to "tell him everything" and one last clip, in which Galadriel is sailing into golden light on a boat, with the captain claiming that she's "going home."Ĭhatting with the cast and creatives, Colbert joked that he wants to be a hobbit, and promised to get to the bottom of "why some elves have haircuts and others don't."

The evil, of course, is Sauron. Running at a full three minutes, the new clip tees up the stakes of the story, with Galadriel warning that the elves have not defeated ancient evil forever, as they mistakenly believe.
