Arwen didn't need to fight, but the character would have benefited from more time with Aragorn. Her participation in the Battle of Helm's Deep would have been a nifty way to allow for that.

Arwen's choice to become mortal puzzles many fans of The Lord of the Rings but is clarified throughout the legendarium, which was created by British fantasy pioneer J. R. R. Tolkien.

The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is due for release in December 2027. The Lord of the Rings trilogy is available to stream on Max in the U.S. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
