Viggo Mortensen, who played Aragorn in the original «The Lord of the Rings» trilogy, commented on his possible participation in the filming of a new movie. According to the actor, he does not know all the details of the film, but would be happy to play the hero again.
Mortensen also noted that he does not see the point in returning Aragorn just for fan service.
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.
The announcement of the new «Lord of the Rings» took place at the beginning of May. The film will receive the subtitle «The Hunt for Gollum» and will be directed by Andy Serkis. Peter Jackson will act as producer. The premiere is scheduled for 2026.
