Andy Serkis will direct a new prequel film set during the events of The Fellowship of the Ring. The story focuses on Aragorn and Gandalf’s pursuit of Gollum, who is also being hunted by Sauron’s forces. Serkis will also reprise his role as Gollum, and Ian McKellen is likely to return as Gandalf. However, there’s speculation that Viggo Mortensen may not return as Aragorn, with Leo Woodall potentially taking over the role. Recently, Elijah Wood spoke with The Times UK and, while not directly confirming his involvement, strongly hinted that he will return as Frodo Baggins.
