Ian McKellen gave life to Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, and as Peter Jackson returns to Middle-earth with The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, many fans want to know if the actor would reprise his role.
…and only if. *glares at studio AI*
I remember reports of Sir Ian having cancer during the filming on the first trilogy, and thinking, man I hope he makes it. Well, I’m glad he has, and hope he makes as many more as he possibly can. The man is a treasure.
If that happens, they better not shove him in front of a bunch of green screens and ask him to act with a tennis ball again! That shit was fucked.
For real. I thought he swore off playing him again after the Hobbit movies.
Don’t do it, sir. In the words of Switch from the Matrix:
Not like this…Fun fact: He’s now only five years older than Sir Christopher Lee was when he played Saruman for the first time.
