You get to be Gandalf this time, as you are invited to take part in an adventure with the Hobbits of the Lord of the Rings franchise - and a few friends (and enemies). At April's C2E2 2025 in Chicago, six of the cast of the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy reunited - and Popverse was there livestreaming the whole thing. Watch as Elijah Wood (Frodo), Sean Astin (Sam), Dominic Monaghan (Merry), Billy Boyd (Pippin), John Rhys-Davies (Gimli), and Andy Serkis (Gollum) talk about the series, and also their involvement in Serkis' upcoming sidequel, 2027's The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum.

This is one of several C2E2 2025 panels that Popverse filmed and livestreamed from the Main Stage right to your device. You can watch this (and more) by becoming a Popverse member -
