With Mockingjay apparently out of the running, it looks like we may see the (still only rumored itself) The Force Awakens teaser trailer on The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Of course, this is per someone with a new-deleted Twitter account who claims to have heard it from Tommy Gormley, The Force Awakens‘s first assistant director.
And even if there’s truth to this, that’s not to say it won’t debut on TV somewhere before The Hobbit is out on December 17… ABC’s most likely candidate, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., has it’s mid-season finale on December 9. Of course, if ABC decides to put all their weight on promoting Agent Carter – which takes over the time slot starting January 6 – who would blame them? And while The Hobbit films haven’t been Jackson’s best, they’ll certainly get more eyeballs.
