Leo Woodall in Talks for Young Aragorn in 'Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum'
Star of "The White Lotus," Leo Woodall, is reportedly in negotiations for a significant male role in the highly anticipated film "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum." According to insider Daniel Richtman, Woodall is expected to portray a young Aragorn in the new cinematic venture set in J.R.R. Tolkien's universe.
The film's narrative is set to unfold approximately two decades before the events of "The Fellowship of the Ring." During this period, Aragorn, known then as the skilled ranger Strider, is enlisted by Gandalf to track down the elusive creature, Gollum. Gollum's intimate knowledge of the One Ring's whereabouts becomes a critical factor in the ongoing struggle against the Dark Lord Sauron.
"When the Ring is lost and carried away by Bilbo Baggins, Gollum is forced to leave his cave and set off in search of it. Gandalf the Grey calls upon Aragorn, still known as the ranger Strider, to track down the elusive creature whose knowledge of the Ring's whereabouts could tip the scales in favor of the Dark Lord Sauron."
Further speculation from journalist Jeff Sneider suggests that "The Hunt for Gollum" could potentially be the inaugural installment of a new trilogy based on Tolkien's works. While Warner Bros. has yet to officially confirm these expansive plans, director Andy Serkis, who will also reprise his role as Gollum, has previously hinted at intentions for at least two films.
Production for "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum" is scheduled to commence in New Zealand in July 2026. Fans can anticipate the film's international premiere on December 17, 2027.
