Awesome: 8 New Posters for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

A whole slew of new posters have been released for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Seven are character posters mostly for new and more heavily featured characters in the second film plus an new theatrical poster!

Let’s take a look!

First the new character posters which were released via Facebook:

Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield:

Sir Ian McKellan as Gandalf:

Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins:

Orlando Bloom as Legolas:

Evangeline Lilly as Tauriel:

Lee Pace as Thranduil:

Luke Evans as Bard the Bowman:

And lastly the new theatrical poster released via Twitter:

If nothing else these posters do a pretty bang up job of letting us know just how huge and impressive the cast for this movie, er, these movies, really is. They;re a bit overly photoshopped if you ask me but that’s sort of the look they’re going for isn’t it?

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is released on 13th December so expect the marketing to really ramp up in the coming weeks.
