Ian McKellen has expressed interest in reprising his role as Gandalf, stating, 'I've just been told there are going to be more films and Gandalf will be involved and they hope that I'll be playing him.' He acknowledges that the script for the projects is not yet written, urging, 'So they better be quick!'
Warner Bros. is actively developing multiple projects exploring Middle-earth, including a prequel tentatively titled 'The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum', which could feature McKellen as Gandalf once again. The film aims to depict Gandalf's quest for Smeagol long before the events of 'The Fellowship of the Ring', enriching the character's narrative beyond what was shown in Jackson's adaptations.
The film 'The Hunt for Gollum' is in early stages of development, and while its plot details are still uncertain, its working title suggests a storyline centered on Gandalf's efforts to locate Smeagol, connecting plot threads from Tolkien's lore that were omitted from previous adaptations, thereby painting Gandalf as a more proactive figure in the search for the One Ring.'
