The Hobbit – Ian McKellen won’t be Gandalf if he has to wait much longe

The Hobbit film is in a bit of a mess. Guillermo del Toro recently left, meaning there is no director. The studio are trying to convince Peter Jackson to take the helm. Meanwhile, Hobbiton has been rebuilt and Sir Ian McKellen is over in New Zealand in the play Waiting for Godot.

With no exact date for filming to begin McKellen makes it known in th clip below that he won’t wait around forever.

If McKellen leaves the role of Gandalf that would be a huge blow for The Hobbit adaption. Hopefully this will give everyone a kick up the arse they need to get this sorted.

If Gandalf did have to be recast who would you want to see in the role?
