Actor Viggo Mortensen has commented on whether he would return for The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, and his words prove that he must come back for a new movie, even if it’s not this one. Mortensen played Aragorn in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movies, and this character should be a prominent figure in the upcoming Hunt for Gollum. However, since the story is set just before the events of Fellowship of the Ring, the actor may now be too old to play this version of Aragorn. Still, a gem like Mortensen could never be left out of the franchise entirely.
