Viggo Mortenson Won’t Share Aragorn Role

Written by ady on September 9, 2008 – 11:22 am -

After John Noble says no, Viggo Mortenson says yes! Viggo admitted to Channel 3 news in New Zealand that he believes his Lord Of The Rings character Aragorn may well have a part in the second of the Hobbit movies and if he does, he wants the part again.

“Obviously if you’ve established a character yourself, you’d rather do it yourself than see another actor do it.”

As we know, Aragon does not make an appearance in The Hobbit but there have been strong rumors the second Hobbit movie would either tell the stories of Aragorn or Gandalf or both. With Sir Ian McKellan already confirmed as returning and now Viggo offering his services it looks like Del Toro has some good news and some scope to play with.

    Viggo is the man! only he can bring aragorn to life on the big screen. to see all the original main characters from tlotr on these new films would remind everyone how great those movies were and make these new ones a huge hit. Either way, I can;t wait to see thse movies.
