Ian McKellen, who played Gandalf in the Peter Jackson-directed Lord of the Rings films, said he would want to reprise his role in the upcoming series.
In an interview with the Graham Norton Show, Ian McKellen, who played Gandalf in the Peter Jackson films, said he absolutely would want to reprise his role in the upcoming series. When asked if he would be upset with another person playing Gandalf, he said:
“What do you mean, another Gandalf?”
Ian McKellen then went on to add that nothing is confirmed about his return to Middle Earth as he has yet to have been asked:
“I haven’t said yes because I haven’t been asked. But are you suggesting that someone else is going to play it? Gandalf is over 7000 years old, so I’m not too old.”
