Viggo Mortensen says that his Aragorn character from The Lord of the Rings trilogy may appear in the second of the two upcoming Hobbit films.
Mortensen says that if Aragorn does reappear, he wants the role: “Obviously if you’ve established a character yourself, you’d rather do it yourself than see another actor do it.”
Although Aragorn is not in the original novel version of The Hobbit, there are rumours the character will feature in a film which bridges The Hobbit movie to The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Film3's Kate Rodger caught up with Mortensen at the Toronto International Film Festival – watch the video for a snippet of their interview.
