Will Middle-earth’s most important wizard return to the big screen? This the actor said in an interview.
A piece of news is generating commotion among fans of The Lord of the rings after confirming that Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis will work on a new production that will add to the film saga with The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum.
And during an interview with The Times, one of Middle-earth’s most famous actors said he would be willing to return to his role one last time.
According to Ian McKellen’s statements to said medium, although so far he has not been called to be part of the cast and there is still no script for this film, he would be willing to return to this saga. “Could I be interested? If I’m alive,” the actor explained with a laugh.
Currently, McKellen is fully committed to the theater where he would like to see more Shakespeare performed and more tours with a regular company of actors. Now 85, he also recalled that in his youth he was one of the founders of the Stonewall pressure group formed in 1989 against Section 28 legislation that banned the “promotion of homosexuality.”
From June 22 to July 27 of this year we will be able to see him be part of the montage of Player Kings at the Noël Coward Theater in London and perhaps, if things go well, as The Great White Wizard on the big screen in two years.
