The franchise of Lord of the rings is still popular. Projects continue to emerge around Tolkien’s universe, be it the Hobbit films, more recently the Rings of Power series and even new, sometimes surprising games! But the shadow of Peter Jackson’s films still hangs over his productions. It is difficult to compare the trilogy that introduced Middle-earth to the general public. However, Middle-earth will soon return to the screen in The Hunt for Gollum. If Andy Serkis, the actor who has already brought the character to life, will be there, another key character in the series would be willing to play the game, on one condition…
The return of a cult actor in the next Lord of the Rings film?
After playing the remarkable role of Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the actor Viggo Mortensen stayed away from major productions. Although he is now turning to auteur cinema, he remains connected to the franchise that brought him to the fore in the early 2000s. His return to Tolkien’s universe may even be possible.
Heard by the UK branch of GQMortensen made remarks that give us the right to hope… In fact, he recalls how much he ” I love playing this character ” and has ” I learned a lot while playing him “. It must be said that Aragorn is a role full of nuance and value, obviously appreciated by fans as much as by his interpreter. He even used the emblematic sword he used in The Lord of the Rings for his latest film, The Dead Don’t Hurt, which he directs.
Would Viggo Mortensen be willing to follow in his footsteps again?Aragorn ? It’s not impossible. But under two conditions… First, that the role matches his current age. Then he admits that he doesn’t really know what the film is about, but if he is to be part of the adventure, he wants his participation to be relevant and not just for fan support. So everything has yet to be confirmed, but such words are encouraging. So let’s keep our fingers crossed for the return of the King.
