The cast includes Ian McKellan as Gandalf the Grey, Benedict Cumberbatch as the voice of the dragon, and Andy Serkis as Golem.
The Hobbit trilogy

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013): The second in this adventure trilogy sees Bilbo and his fellow adventurers get closer to their goal, but not without orcs, giant spiders and worse standing in their way!
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014): Bilbo’s fantastic journey concludes, but not in a whimper. With a dragon to stop and an army attacking the adventurers, it’ll take a hobbit with a big heart to win!
