I suspect that Jackson's not going to be able to resist intercutting the assault on Dol Guldur with the Battle of Five Armies (mostly because he's about as subtle as an anvil with "50 tons" written on it). Of course that's going to require some butchering of the story-line. No further comment necessary.

As to what form it will take, I've no idea but I'd predict a Galadriel freak-out (similar to the Mirror scene in FotR) will take place.

Galadriel would have shown her ring then,which is something the elves dont want to do,especially in front of the dark lord himself
