See Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit
Dwarves are popping out of the woodwork all over the place at the moment. And today is no different, as another short fella from The Hobbit has been revealed online.
This time it’s Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield, a fearsome leader of dwarves.
Oakenshield’s backstory is intimately tied to that of giant dragon Smaug, who destroyed the dwarf kingdom of Erebor and slaughtered many of his kin.
Continuing the shaggy-haired look of the dwaves, Armitage looks nothing short of fearsome as Oakenshield.
Benedict Cumberbatch confirmed as voice of Smaug in The Hobbit
Clash Of The Titans and Tamara Drew star Luke Evans has joined Peter Jackson’s currently shooting adaptation of The Hobbit.
Evans will play Bard the Grim (otherwise known as Bard the Bowman), a skilled archer and the son of a king. He single-handedly takes on dragon Smaug.
Speaking of, the colossal winged beast has also been cast – sort of. Benedict Cumberbatch has signed on to voice the dragon, confirming long-whispered rumours about the Sherlock star’s involvement.
