\u201cI\u2019m a huge fan of the Tolkien saga, everything to do with Middle-earth,\u201d he reiterated this weekend to MTV News. \u201cBut no there\u2019s no truth in the fact that they\u2019ve approached me yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

But that won\u2019t stop McAvoy from playing along with our readers. So who would he cast in the role made famous by Ian Holm?<\/p>\n

\u201cIan Holm!\u201d McAvoy proclaimed as if the answer was self-evident. \u201cI don\u2019t know if he\u2019d be able to go back, but he SHOULD do it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He said he hadn’t been approached yet<\/em>. Could he be later? Either way, we will find about casting decisions straight from Guillermo del Toro, as he, himself told us a couple weeks ago<\/a>. [MTV Movie Blog<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
