THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF FIVE ARMIES Richard Armitage has taken to his twitter account to drop some obscure allusions to the end of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies using the hashtag #whatreallyhappenstoThorin.

Richard Armitage has alluded to the final scene on a few occasions, including during this interview with TORn:

GD: With all that you bring to Thorin, people — especially those who don’t know what’s coming — will be devastated in Film 3!

RA: If they haven’t read the book… I know. [with gleeful excitement] Oh it’s so good. I can’t even begin to tell you — it’s so good… The way that’s structured — I know we’re not supposed to talk about it, but it’s… at every level it surpassed my expectation.
