Trailer lighlights:

Opening Scene: The Calm Before the Storm
The trailer opens with a somber tone, featuring sweeping shots of the desolate Lonely Mountain and its surroundings. Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) stands atop Erebor, surveying his reclaimed kingdom, now brimming with gold. Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) narrates quietly, reflecting on the cost of their journey. His voiceover conveys both regret and foreboding, setting the emotional stage for the story.

Thorin’s Struggle with Greed:
The trailer delves into Thorin’s descent into “dragon sickness,” his obsession with Erebor’s treasure. Dramatic scenes show him growing increasingly paranoid and distrustful, even of his closest allies. The line, “I will not part with a single piece of gold”, echoes his internal conflict, driving a wedge between him and the company.

The Rise of Sauron’s Forces:
Parallel to Thorin’s internal strife, the trailer showcases the external threat looming over Middle-earth. Azog the Defiler (Manu Bennett) rallies his Orc armies, preparing to march on Erebor. Massive war machines, grotesque creatures, and legions of warriors fill the screen, signaling the scale of the impending battle. A glimpse of the Necromancer further connects this story to the growing shadow of Sauron in The Lord of the Rings.
