After much speculation, Ian McKellen has confirmed he’ll reprise the role of Gandalf in the new The Lord of the Rings movie, The Hunt for Gollum.
As a guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (natch), the actor confirmed they’d start filming in “July, which is unfortunate, because it’s winter down there in New Zealand, and I’m not sure I want to be out there in the wind and the rain… And yes, I put on the pointy hat and the beard and the nose and the eyebrows and the mustache.”
