Sir Ian McKellen has said he would be "very pleased" to reprise his role as wizard Gandalf in the planned film of JRR Tolkien's novel The Hobbit.
"If I am still functioning and working well, it is very likely I would be asked to do it," he told Reuters.
Sir Ian played the role in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, landing an Oscar nomination in the process.
Due to a legal dispute with film studio New Line, however, Peter Jackson will not be back as director for The Hobbit. |
