    Ian McKellen on Gandalf Returning for Amazon’s “Lord of the Rings” Series

    Okay, so, we’ve spoken about this very topic at length before. The incredible Sir Ian McKellen has even said he’d WANT to return to the role of Gandalf given the opportunity. What a gift he is. We digress.

    McKellen, who is currently carrying on the kind of career young actors only dream about, took to Twitter to offer some commentary on a recent headline he happened to notice. In this case, a rather clickbaity headline from ScreenRant caught his attention.

    I think this would be the most upsetting headline I’d ever read, if I weren’t gainfully employed elsewhere. https://t.co/VuletTxAGA

    To be fair, the piece does go into fairly deep detail about the lore around this age of Middle Earth Amazon’s upcoming “Lord of The Rings” series will take place in. But, we completely agree (as usual) with McKellen.

    Even if maybe McKellen doesn’t PHYSICALLY portray the Grey Wizard, why wouldn’t he at least provide the voice?! C’mon, now.

    As we reported back in August, the official release date for the series looks to be September 2nd, 2022.

    We’ll let you know what else we hear about this and other news.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
