Part 2/8:
The title of the upcoming film, The Hunt for Gollum, refers to a period when Gandalf was searching for Gollum, who was the last known bearer of the One Ring. In the books, Gandalf seeks the help of a strong tracker, none other than Aragorn, who plays a pivotal role in discovering and capturing Gollum. This opens up the thrilling possibility of seeing Ian McKellen reprise his role as Gandalf, alongside Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn. Both actors have expressed a willingness to return, depending on the script and their age; Mortensen humorously remarked that it would depend on his age, that is, if he’s still alive.
