This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. Ian McKellen has seemingly confirmed Gandalf's return in The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, revealing whether he will be reprising his iconic role in future films. McKellen portrayed the wizard in Peter Jackson's original film trilogy, returning to the role in The Hobbit movies a decade later.
Speaking with Big Issue, McKellen revealed Gandalf will be coming back in future Lord of the Rings movies, potentially speaking about The Hunt for Gollum, and that he has been approached to reprise his role. While it's unclear if he'll be coming back for sure, he expressed interest in the idea, mentioning how the script for his next movie in the franchise hasn't been written yet.
I’ve just been told there are going to be more films and Gandalf will be involved and they hope that I’ll be playing him. When? I don’t know. What the script is? It’s not written yet. So they better be quick!
