Surely this is a no brainer?
We’ve reported already that Amazon are producing a Lord of the Rings TV series likely to take place before the movies and now it looks like Ian McKellan, Gandalf himself, wants to play the role in the series.
Surely this is the way forward? Imagine having him bookending each episode? It would be awesome and would be a great way to tie movies and TV series together, even if it was unofficial.
Speaking on the Graham Norton BBC Radio 2 show earlier this week the actor talked about the new series casting a new Gandalf: “What do you mean, another Gandalf?” asked McKellan.
“Are you suggesting that someone else is going to play it? Gandalf is over 7,000 years old, so I’m not too old.”
We’re not saying that we think this all happen, we’re just saying it could and SHOULD happen.
What say you all? Is the world ready for more Ian McKellan as Gandalf? Damn right it is…
