This is actually a good question.

Amazon has rights to the appendices and has generally staked out the Second Age. Neither Amazon nor Warner Brothers has rights to the Silmarillion and its UT and HoME progeny. This seems to leave the Third Age to Warner Brothers. Warner Brothers is already working on The War of the Rohirrim, due for release in 2024. What is left?

Maybe Warner Brothers will target some aspect of the history of Arnor and the war with Angmar? Or they could flesh out something referred to only in passing, like Scatha the worm? An interesting candidate might be the war between the Dwarves and the Orcs? I'm not sure what I would want to see produced, myself... I wasn't happy with The Hobbit and the jury is out on Rings of Power...
