I have wanted a dog for a long time, and weirdly enough, I always imagined that I would name the dog buddy. I had no idea, Sir Ian McKellen calls his dog buddy as well.

Sir Ian is a national treasure. Probably even a worldwide one considering how everybody loves Gandalf

Pardon me, as a Brazilian, I say he is an international treasure

Universal treasure.

[@dspencer1969]

He embodies the role, I don't see anyone else being able to pull it off under the standard he set. The same with Christopher Lee and Saruman.

[@warrengchef9688]

dressing like he’s 40 years younger and pulling it off with style….what a legend 😍

@@ElliottPiano They could de age him a little and have another actor play the physical running and fighting stuff. And have Sir McKellen just do the sitting and standing scenes. Like they did with Sir Chrisopher Lee in the Hobbit, Sir Lee was 92-year-old.

For all of us who were there back then when they were first released LOTR trilogy, he is literally everyones cosy Uncle in a way. Cant believe they started the project in 1999 (Peter Jackson) and pre production, that is literally soon 26 years ago. A big chunk of the people on the webb, were not even borned! And i hope in my heart that Ian Mckellen will play Gandalf once last time. And i hope he stays healthy in years to come! Time flyes by so fast! 👏🏼

Vicious is a wonderful series. Gandalf and Freddie... Tremendous roles that only he could do

[@D4vid_95]

No question, Ian McKellen is the goat. And the work he has done in lord of rings & the hobbit trilogy is nothing short of a masterpiece. But I do feel that age is catching up on him now massively. & If the new gollum movies have 2. I feel they may strongly need to consider a much younger fresher gandalf. As if we remember the fellowship of the ring was well over 20 years ago now.

[@fueledbylove]

I may be the only one who agrees with you, the gentleman is reaching advanced age and most of his fans are eager to have him go to work when it might be best for him to quietly retire from filmwork. Apparently, they do not know the ardors of acting in a motion picture, it is taxing work even on the young. To say no other professional actor can fill the role of Gandalf is, wrongheaded to be polite. I for one would be saddened if he were to take the role and endanger his health or worse during production but the choice is up to him.

No one else could play Gandalf like Sir ian it wouldn't be the same it just feels wroung to even think of someone else playing his role

[@batguy21784]

Love Sir Ian. No one else need ever play Gandalf. Funny story, back when the original Peter Jackson movies were announced (yes, I am that old, and quite a bit older), and a LOTR website began revealing the casting, I saw an acting mug shot of Sir Ian and became incensed. He's all wrong, I complained. He doesn't even have the pointy nose that Tolkien described. I really was put out. Then, I saw Sir Ian in the movies and gladly ate crow. He was and is amazing.

[@hairglowingkyle4572]

[@ianhirst1148]

Dumbledore had to be recast because of Richard Harris's death and they had only done a couple of films. Think I still prefer Harris's version than Gambon’s. McKellan has played Gandalf in 6 films.

[@Wrecker0099]

Sir Ian McKellen will always be the only one Gandalf in Middle Earth. Best wizard casting of all time in movie history.

[@squamish4244]

The good thing about playing Gandalf is that he's already ancient, so Ian McKellen can play him over the course of 25 years and it doesn't matter.

[@Jasongvl]

McKellan FTW!!! :)

[@ravenhill_of_yore_1968]
