Michael gambon

Sir michael gambon

Wasn't Sean Connery supposed to play him

>Michael Gambon
>Patrick Stewart
>Jeremy Irons

One of that. But i'm glad we got McKellen.

I feel like you only say Michael Gambon now because of Harry potter

SEAN
FUCKING
CONNERY

Mad Max. Imagine him and lee having a duel of voices.

...

He fits the look, and definitely has the skill.

Is Gandalf a big wizard?

for gondor

>Sees Balrog
>"You are a big guy..."

Well we all know how he hobbit turned out.

aside from the african refugees in laketown the Hobbit trilogy was pretty white desu senpai

Richard Harris.

I came to say Christopher Plummer but I like your idea better.

I can't imagine anyone else in the role.

sean connery

The Pilk

Boring thread because its pretty obvious this is the answer but maybe Christopher Lee. Then make Saruman Ben Kingsley.

Then make Jeremy Irons Dumbledore, it will be great because the secret darkness of Dumbledore would really come out on screen when Irons is just putting out that silky smooth evil British voice, then when he betrays Harry Potter in book 7 you'd get full on chills.

Ian McKellen's ghost

kangs

This party consists of Frodo, myself, but only 6 of you. Which one of you gets killed off in my fellowship?

He would make a good Elrond desu

It was barely allowed back then. You missed the absolute shitfit some Americlaps gave over the title of The Two Towers.
