Viggo Mortensen Open to Aragorn Return in New LORD OF THE RINGS Movie, HUNT FOR GOLLUM

Recently, Warner Bros. announced a new The Lord of the Rings movie, The Hunt for Gollum. While the movie centers on Gollum, it could also include some familiar characters from The Lord of the Rings trilogy of movies. But will it include familiar actors? Viggo Mortensen chimed in on whether he would return to his The Lord of the Rings character, Aragorn, in The Hunt for Gollum. And his answer? Yes. Mortensen noted that he would be happy to play Aragorn again in the new The Lord of the Rings movie, but only if it was the right thing to do for the character.

Mortensen revealed, “Sure. I don’t know exactly what the story is, I haven’t heard. Maybe I’ll hear about it eventually. I like playing that character. I learned a lot playing the character. I enjoyed it a lot. I would only do it if I was right for it in terms of, you know, the age I am now and so forth. I would only do it if I was right for the character. It would be silly to do it otherwise.”

We appreciate that Mortensen has such care for the character of Aragorn, although we would want to see him again in a new The Lord of the Rings movie. Potentially, Mortensen could return in some kind of cameo if a younger Aragorn was needed in The Hunt for Gollum. We’d love to see him as the narrator or storyteller in this Lord of the Rings tale.
