Sir Ian McKellen is to return to the Shire after accepting the role of Gandalf in the next instalment of JRR Tolkien’s Middle Earth fantasy. The 68-year-old star played the part in the hugely successful Lord of the Rings trilogy directed by Peter Jackson and yesterday told Empire magazine that he would return as the all-powerful wizard in a two-film adaptation due to be filmed in New Zealand. “Yes, it’s true,” said McKellen. “Obviously, it’s not a part that you turn down; I loved playing Gandalf.”

Movie geeks, film fans and fantasy freaks are rejoicing across the world as we speak!
