John Rhys-Davies shares the one condition needed for him to return in The Lord of the Rings‘ next movie. The franchise is set to continue with The Hunt for Gollum, as Andy Serkis directs the project and reprises his role as the titular character. Ian McKellen is also returning to play Gandalf in The Hunt for Gollum and in another live-action The Lord of the Rings movie that is currently in development. With Serkis and McKellen back, there is room for other actors to return as well, which could include Rhys-Davies playing Gimli once more.
