ScreenRant posed the option of Gandalf being recast as a younger version of the iconic wizard, to which McKellen was quick to respond.
#Gandalf actor series
The casting of Gandalf recently broke into news late last year amidst the hype surrounding the upcoming Amazon TV series Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. What might have been if Sean Connery had taken the offer of Gandalf, would the series have been as successful? Perhaps, Connery would have been able to pinch more souvenirs from the set than Sir Ian McKellen, given his background playing super-sleuth James Bond. We never got an answer until years later, but apparently he read the material and just didn’t get it.” Ordesky went on to explain that the Lord of the Rings production team did indeed approach Sean Connery for the role “We did make an offer to Connery but he said no. Es uno de los principales personajes de las novelas El hobbit y El Señor de los Anillos, aunque también aparece en El Silmarillion, donde se narran sus orígenes. In an interview with the Independent, both McKellen and New Line Cinema executive Mark Ordesky spoke of other actors who may have been involved in the role “They wanted Tony Hopkins and Sean Connery,” said McKellen. Gandalf es un personaje ficticio perteneciente al legendarium del escritor británico J. It’s difficult seeing anyone other than Sir Ian McKellen in the iconic role, but, things could have turned out differently. Sir Ian McKellen will be hoping that Peter Jackosn doesn’t keep a keen eye on Reddit or Gandalf may be in some trouble with the mind behind the magic that is LOTR. However, even if Jackson is now aware of McKellen’s thievery, it would be highly unlikely for him to cross his beloved star and demand a return of the item, given how much he brought to the role of Gandalf. Sir Ian McKellen’s love of the set led him to spill the beans on some of the props he pinched “I can tell you that I have some of those coins-“Along with the door key to Bag End, which I know Peter Jackson is looking for, but will never find.” Hundreds of thousands of golden coins, specially made. I think my favourite set, that I didn’t act in, was the golden, where the dragon was hiding. The legendary actor happened to spill the beans on which souvenirs he pinched via Reddit when discussing his favourite sets and props. He became friends with all races, but not to those who were affiliated with Sauron. Gandalf first comes to Arda during the Second Age. Sir Ian McKellen of course famously played Gandalf, to much critical and fan acclaim, featuring in both the beloved LOTR trilogy and the divisive Hobbit trilogy respectively. Gandalf is a character in the 1977 adaptation of The Hobbitand the 1980 film,The Return of the King.He was voiced by John Huston in both films.
