McKellen hadn’t yet read a script for the film in 2024, but there’s a chance he’s gotten his hands on one since. During an appearance at the For the Love of Fantasy fan event in London last week, the actor had more updates on The Hunt for Gollum. McKellen then dropped an even bigger bombshell about The Hunt for Gollum: “I’ll tell you two secrets about the casting. There’s a character in the movie called Frodo, and there’s a character in the movie called Gandalf.”According to McKellen, Frodo Baggins is joining The Hunt for Gollum. There’s no word yet on whether Wood will reprise his role alongside McKellen — but if both return, it’d make sense that other legacy actors will follow suit.
