The legendary actor appeared at a fan event titled For The Love of Fantasy over the weekend, where he spoke at a panel about his illustrious work in the genre, including his previously announced intention to return as Gandalf.
Now though, he seems more confident about his return to Middle-earth – as well as that of another major character from the original Lord of the Rings trilogy.
The juicy tidbits followed, with McKellen sharing: "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... Apart from that, my lips are sealed!"
Wood himself wasn't referenced in McKellen's comments, so we can't rule out the latter possibility at this stage. Still, particularly in our current craze for nostalgic comebacks, the original actor's return would likely be a strong draw for movie-goers.
Earlier this year, he also took a supporting role in horror flick The Monkey, starring Theo James.
"It would be pretty incredible," he responded. "I have to say, any return to New Zealand to work with those individuals within the context of that world would be… jumping back into a world that's so beloved and means so much to me."
The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is coming to cinemas in December 2027.
