Jackson explains: “The character of Gollum/Smeagol has always fascinated me because Gollum reflects the worst in human nature, and his Smeagol side can be said to be very compassionate.
“I think he has the same connection with readers and moviegoers because there’s a little bit of both of those things in all of us. We really wanted to explore his backstory and delve deeper into his journey that we didn’t have time to do in the earlier films. those parts introduced in .
“It’s too early to know who will encounter him, but suffice to say we will be continuing Professor Tolkien’s leadership.”
