The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - New Character Posters!

Some new character posters for The upcoming Hobbit movie are in! And as usual, they are looking pretty spectacular. For larger images and captions, and to revel in the glory of the film, see below: 

Good ol' Gandalf [the grey] (Ian McKellan) looking pretty bad-ass in his new character poster. 

In a nice change of character posters, Legolas (Orlando Bloom) the elf is doing the butt-shot pose instead of Tauriel (Evangeline Lilly). Yep, you go elves. 

Luke Evans as Bard the Bowman. 

Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield, looking to be in a bit of a sticky situation. 

And finally, the hobbit himself, Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins! (who has also stars alongside Sherlock Co-Star, Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays Smaug and The Necromancer.) So, how do the new posters shape up for you? Getting excited for the film which is released less than a month away? If not, watch a sneak peek below!:
