Guillermo Del Toro will be finding himself a part in The Hobbit movie. He confessed to a German TV show that he plans to have a cameo playing a creature and unlike Peter Jackson who did the same in all 3 Lord of the Rings movies, GDT will be giving himself a few lines to deliver.
Meanwhile Sir Ian McKellen – who is fast becoming THE source for Hobbit movie news – told Sci-Fi Wire that he has seen the script and although very excited he cannot say anything as he is sworn to secrecy. Sounds like GDT is catching on fast and reeling him in a bit 
“There are a lot of characters in The Hobbit including, crucially, Bilbo, and they don’t know who’s going to play Bilbo. So it’s extremely attractive that this part has been written for me. The other Gandalf [LOTR] was written for, well, just as Gandalf.”
[This contradicts his previous statement that he knew who had the bilbo Baggins role.]
“There’s lots for me to enjoy, in all sorts of ways. And I couldn’t be happier. But I’m sworn to secrecy. I’m not to say anything at all about the script.”
Viggo Mortensen meanwhile has expressed an interest in returning for the second Hobbit movie.
He told Movieweb that he had a lot of fun making The Lord of the Rings movies and would love to return to Middle Earth. He also told them that it is his understanding that they [GDT, Jackson and Co] were trying to incorporate actors from the trilogy, even some who’s character didn’t appear in The Hobbit.
John Rhys-Davies only last month said he had been approached but had said ‘no thanks’ to a return to Middle Earth as has Christopher Lee.
John Noble who played Denethor has already said no some time ago which could be a problem if they plan to show the story of Aragorn.
