The first poster for this December’s Hobbit sequel, The Desolation Of Smaug, has arrived – with the new trailer due tomorrow.

In it, our hero Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) gazes towards the entrance of the long-lost Dwarf city of Erebor – home of Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) and company. Smoke rises from the glowing doorway, indicating that the gold-loving dragon Smaug is very much at home.
The Desolation Of Smaug sees Bilbo, Thorin and co. continue on their journey to the Lonely Mountain via stops in the Elven realm of Mirkwood and human settlement of Esgaroth, otherwise known as Lake Town.
Also starring Ian McKellen, Sylvester McCoy, Lee Pace, Evangeline Lily, Luke Evans, Stephen Fry and Benedict Cumberbatch (who plays both Smaug and the previously glimpsed Necromancer), TDOS is set to be bigger and better than An Unexpected Journey.
It’ll be in cinemas on December 13th.
