Will the Fellowship reunite once more? Elijah Wood has finally broken his silence regarding a potential return to Middle-earth.

When asked if he'd reprise his iconic role, Wood told ScreenRant he "can neither confirm nor deny," but quickly added a cryptic hint. "Listen, a wizard is to be trusted," Wood said, referring to Ian McKellen's bombshell from August 2025. McKellen had previously let slip that both Frodo and Gandalf are scripted into the new project.
Wood expressed immense excitement about the production, which he describes as "getting the band back together." Original helmer Peter Jackson is producing, while Andy Serkis—the man who brought Gollum to life—will both direct and star. The film's release date has been officially set for December 17, 2027, following a delay from its original 2026 window.
It feels so unbelievably appropriate that Andy directs a film about his character that he has really made his own. I’m thrilled.
