Dune 2 isn't the only film to be delayed – a new Lord of the Rings movie has also moved

Gandalf and Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

We're going to have to wait a little while longer for a new Lord of the Rings movie. Thanks to the knock-on effect of delaying Dune 2 amid the ongoing WGA writers' strike and SAG-AFTRA actors' strike, Lord Of The Rings: The War of the Rohirrim has also been pushed back. 

The animated film was slated for April 12, 2024, but Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire now occupies that date, after Dune 2 took its original March 15, 2024 slot (the Dune sequel was meant to come out this November). The War of the Rohirrim will now land on December 13, 2024 – the same date as the upcoming new Karate Kid film (H/T Deadline).
