My captain, my king
Gay
Boromirs last words, never forgotten.
@@chiefyt9250said no one ever
@@chiefyt9250 If you're not atleast a little bit gay for our brother, our captain, our king, you're the problem.
So glad to hear Toxic is part of the Legendarium!
I can easily see old King Elessar jotting down his memories in the intro of 'The Hunt For Gollum' just like Bilbo did in 'The Hobbit' years prior - so yeah let's go!
I can see that too!
Or telling this story to his son Eldarion, so he is seeing himself as his young father in his imagination.
That would be a brilliant framing device.
What a movie .. what an actor ... what a legend
Dude is a legend
Aragorn is essential in "The hunt for gollum"
No shit 😂
It would be lovely to see Viggo back as Aragorn.
Too old. You’re crazy if you think he’ll be in the movie. Too expensive to de-age a lead character and it’s never the same always looks weird. He could play his father ha ha
@@jollygoodshow nah he'll be fine. Viggo looks great
@@jollygoodshow agree, but maybe we could get him as older King Aragorn telling the story of the hunt for Gollum, then we flashback to him as a younger man played by another actor. We can have our cake and eat it too!
Rip Bernard Hill
From your post i learned that he passed...😢 Great actor and i enjoyed every role!
When he died, I was reminded of his death scene in Return of the King. One of the best tear jerking moments in the trilogy. Great monologue. What a ride it was to see this in theaters back in the day!
Rip benny hill
I know. I cant😢
@TheFlamingPike it was so unexpected and awesome for the extended trilogy to rerelease in my area this month. Wasn't like seeing them the first time, but it was magical. That scene always gets me.
My brother. My captain. My King.
If anyone in this comments section hasnt seen his films 'A History of Violence' and 'Eastern Promises' then please do so. Those are masterpieces.
Not a masterpiece by any means. It got trashed on IMDB and is a B grade film, American Yakuza is a good watch if you just want something light without much thinking…….
History of Violence was wild😂😂😂 I also likee Hildago. The Road traumatized me. One and done kind of watch
My favorite character from my favorite movies of all time.
has anyone heard liv tyler "arwen" sing "houses of healing"? it is beautiful.
Im on it now!
I loved him in Lord of the rings but he was amazing in Hidalgo
He is Aragorn
just put him in his fellowship attire, brown longer hair wig and dye his beard, done. He's got to be involved in Hunt for Gollum. There's plenty of story too, watch nerd of the rings video about it.
Exactly and Sir Ian McKellen is still acting as well
The Hunt for Gollem Viggo HAS to be in it. Or im rioting.
he barely needs de aging tbf .... just a wig and some makeup,, i am sold !
i would have follow you my brother my captain my king in any series.
Viggo still looks fine!!.. he could easily do it!!
Give us the epilogue!!!! The timing is perfect!!!!
Viggo could have become a massive star after LOTR, like Tom Cruise level. He had it all - the looks, the charisma, better acting ability and no controversy. Instead he chose small but interesting projects like A History of Violence, Eastern Promises and A Dangerous Method (all with David Cronenberg as well, who is like Canada's David Lynch). All successful, but not big films, but all critically acclaimed and memorable. I especially think Eastern Promises is one of the best crime dramas ever made. I don't think he wanted superstardom.
Agree. I think he loves his trade - not the whole celebrity part.
And once you have cashed in big time, it gives you the freedom to surplus what is in your heart.
The film you mention are great.A History of Violence really went under my skin.
Fuck yeah Viggo can do another run at Aragorn, I'd pay to watch that any day of the week.
I just love Viggo / Aragon ❤
Hoping to see Viggo as an older Aragorn (maybe intro-ing/telling the story??) and a new actor cast as younger Aragorn
Omg my king
Omg I hope he returns for The Hunt for Gollum :0
Salut to This man, my king
This man could walk into the very fires of Mordor , never mind a return role as aragorn
He's coming back as ARAGORN , '' i feel it in the water'' and i'll be over the moon to see it .
I so hope he comes back, also with Gandalf
Let it showcase more of Nature Of Middle Earth and Anthology Of Middle Earth, Laws And Customs Of The Eldar and hunt for Gollum can be backdrop as well as main story in some cases. All while showing what was happening between the other races at this time too
The culture of the Greenwood elves could be shown here for even in their capture of Gollum it’s known that even a captured orc would be treated with respect and unharmed. Wish I had the exact passage in front of me. For it was beautifully written.
Can be three 2 hour long episodes put on Netflix after release in theatres as part 1-3 of one movie.
Just one last time pls! 😭 Thranduil also! 🫶🏼
They could make a movie on Aragon's reign as king when grows older. I want to know what happened to Mordor in the aftermath.
Reflection is truly key.

But to earn final peace at the universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again."

Like to see Elessar and a grown up Eldarion!
I would have followed you my brother. My captain. My king.
if hes back in it ill watch it
I don't understand how people can think he could return. He's 65 years old (currently). What would they do, de-age him? We've all seen the tech for that, and it's far from perfect.
So, they should give Viggo Mortensen and Sir Ian Mellen anything they want to be in The Hunt for Gollum and anything else they are making! I will go watch it/them many many times- I'm not kidding I watched The Fellowship 19 times Two Towers 21 times and Return of the King 14 times at the cinema! I love the books and the films!
My king 👑
I LOVE YOU VIGGo! Please come back in the new LOTR movie 2026, please viggo! We beg of you. You are meant to play that character! Please viggo 😢
We want a King Aragorn movie!
Yesssssss
Best looking man ever ❤
and has a heart of pure gold.
How I hate getting older, I wish age didn't get older, I wish we didn't grow old 💔💔
our KING!!!
I hope he can come back for gollum, the true return of the king
Trop trop bien, mais oui il faut que Viggo revienne : il n’y a pas d’autre Aragorn, c’est lui le Roi du Gondor 👑
Aragorn will be searching for Gollum.
Everyone should go see "The dead don't hurt". Viggo wrote, directed, and starred in it and it is a great movie. If you want a break from all the brain dead hollywood garbage and watch a story about real characters and real struggles, then I highly recommend it.
I look at Aragorn like other people do to Luke Skywalker
I just hope if they do bring him back they wont fuck up his character like they did to Old Man Lukey
"Authority is not given to you to deny the return of the king!"
Elessar. PLEASE MAKE IT COME TRUE
“My friends … You bow to no one”
The one and only. The only way I will watch the hunt for gollum.
VIGGO IS IN FOR A NEW LORD MOVIE! SOMEONE DO SOMETHING
In Canon, King Aragorn ended up going to war with the Easterlings and also the Haradrim - so in terms of age of real-life characters, the fact we're 20 years on from the original LOTRs, we could see Viggo again.
The only problem is, I can only see it as being a one-off movie but the studios will likely drag it out like "The Hobbit", which totally ruined it ("An Unexpected Journey" was superb but the next two, especially the third - which was only a few pages in the book - was made into a 2+ hour movie).
They just need to be careful how to approach this.
It wasn't PJ's fault after all tho
Insallah It all comes back Aragorn, Frodo, Gandalf, Samwiese, Elf, Gollum
The return of the king
King
If we can get Viggo and Ian one last time in The Hunt for Gollum, I’m going to be crying tears of joy in my popcorn bucket.
I so so so hope so!!!
mmmm extra salty popcorn
I just hope to God the production and the visual aesthetic is not as clean and smoothed to shit as it was in the Hobbit and Rings of Power. Bring back that grit.
@@Henry14arsenal2007 Rings of power was a totally different team/studio
@@Healthy_Toki It still looks shiny and polished af because thats how movies are made to look nowadays.
There is only ONE Aragorn for me and that is Viggo.
I’d love to see a movie of him and Arwen in the last years of his life.
Now that would be very special
SAME! ❤❤❤❤
Slice of life cozy series of just like various regal and beautiful ways they live their lives and the benevolent approaches they take to ruling Gondor.
They would need to write a screenplay set in the early years of the Fourth Age to fit his present look As a Numenorean, he would probably fit well in the mid-100's but I'm not aware of any significant source material from that time. There might be a paragraph or two in the LoTR Appendices that covers those years, which were a time of peace and prosperity for Gondor.
Wow this never crossed my mind... but yeah.... and you could have Orlando and John if they do it soon enough, John is getting up there in age. I would love this
My heart will always belong to Aragorn as played by Viggo Mortensen.
Peter Jackson managed to revolutionize filming to create Gollum.
He can certainly handle de-aging Viggo and Ian for one last ride.
Give him dark hair and he would fit right in to the role again, no need to de age, Ian is perfect for it too
He doesn't even look much older. Bit of make up and the black hair and he'd look the same.
if disney could de-age hayden & ewan mcgregor for ahsoka and obi wan, im sure PJ can do it too
@@MisterDanger01 I’d much rather they didn’t though I’d rather just have the most natural version of their faces
@@shoff29 that would make no sense, since the hunt for gollum takes place between the scenes where gandalf tells frodo to hide the ring and goes to gondor, for us its minutes but in the books its 17 years that pass when he returnes at night asking 'is the ring safe'? so aragon cant be older in the hunt for gollum when he was younger afterwards. Would make zero sense.
I can't express how much I hope Viggo returns - The return of the King!
Nah he's older now. It would need to be in the right context. Viggo was so great in LOTR and let's just enjoy his contribution on top of the beautiful work of this series.
@@hajsh67 true he is, and if it wouldn't work, then it wouldn't work. But there if it could work.. then It gives me hope!
@@SketchedbySte Fair enough. If he could come back and really capture that same character, then I don't really have any problem at all.
nah, personally i don't want another cgi bullshit like hobbit
@@msxwindx3238 Viggo being in it means it will be CG like the Hobbit? Or do you mean if they have to de age him etc?
YESSSSSSSS! PLEASE COME BACK AS ARAGORN❤❤❤❤
*Yes, but with is face younger using the CGI.* Weta FX can do it.
Personally I would never watch a L.O.T.R. movie with another actor playing Aragorn. *Viggo is Aragorn.*
"I dont know how that would happen exactly" meanwhile he's filmed all his scenes in secret already
Stahp
The (possible) Return of the King
It would be great to have Viggo as the old King Elessar remembering his days when he was hunting gollum and then some other younger actor to play young aragorn
Nah. Has to be Viggo. He embodied the character and immersed himself into the role like no other could. He also looks incredible for his age, is in great shape, can ride horses, gets Tolkien, can swordplay. And he's one of the greatest actors of his generation. I also think how he looks now would even closer resemble book Aragorn if they gave him his Fellowship get up
Nope @@MrSRA13..hes old now ..let him rest ..esp if there is even 1 percent chance they do a hansolo or luke skywalker or indiana jones of his character..nope .
@@prodigalfraudaddy-es1gl he's not old. Did you even watch his latest movie? The guy doesn't look or act his age. He can certainly do it if he wants to. And why would they do a Han solo etc to his character. It's the events right before Fellowship and they won't disrespect Tolkien in the same way the Amazon show has. We'll have to agree to disagree
@@prodigalfraudaddy-es1gl Ian, as Gandalf, was the same age as Viggo is now. Age has nothing to do with it.
With de-aging it could still be him
Calling it, he's in the new film
It hasnt even begun production yet
@@Saurondür one can hope.
Timotay Challemet is playing the younger version of Aragorn in the Hunt for Gollum
@@brendansheehy8124 HELL NO keep that guy far away from middle earth
I would be fan girling so bad if he would return. I understand he was in his 40s when he first played Aragorn. I think at 65 he still looks great. So handsome. Aragorn in the book's story, while hunting for Gollum was 70. I think he could pull it off. Darling Viggo. 😍
THERE CAN BE NO OTHER!!! 😭😭😭
Ride out Ride out with me and meet them
WHAT ABOUT IAN MCKELLAN
WHAT ABOUT HIM
@@pamelah6431 RIP
Just make a sequel as him high king of the human kingdoms and the reconquest of the south and the north part. The story of aragorn is not over with the end of the lord of the ring.
More Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings 💍 🙏 NOT Amazon cancelzon
A Silver Fox!!
I want one!!!
Viggo is the best! My favourite actor! Legend!
Let's just get a nice slice of life movie when he's the king of gondor rebuilding everything!
Damn, RIP, Theoden. His speech before the charge still gives me chills, 25 years later. What a performance and shout out to the casting. Spot on.
That’s scene reliably had given me full body chills every goddamn time I’ve watched it.
Very, very few movies pull that off every time. But thirty times later, like clockwork, every time.
I can only see... He is Aragon, and Aragon is him!
It's true. He is cemented in all of our minds as Aragorn. He truly understood and embodied that character.
He's still looking good. He has my vote for "The Hunt for Gollum". Him and Sir Ian together again? Hell yeah, an absolute no brainer.
That would be great
I saw Viggos new movie the dead don’t hurt and I have got to say he could still do an incredible older Aragorn. Though the hunt for Gollum story is set a little earlier in the timeline so they’d have to de age him or something.
What, Aragorn's and Faramir's children are going to travel back in time to prevent Boromir from dying?
I guess we're talking about using some kind of de-aging technique but it's about more than just the face, it's the voice and how the actor moves. DeNiro was made to look younger in the Irishman but whenever he had to get physical, like kicking that guy on the ground, they could hide that it was an old man doing the kicking. Obviously they have stunt doubles they can use but Viggo is the kind of guy who will want to do as much as he can himself. If the technology can make him look younger and he's fit enough to play younger then it's not a problem.
I say all this knowing that Viggo is technically still younger than what Aragorn was during Lord Of The Rings lol
Elessar!
See, now these are times when dealing tech is FINE!!! Put him in!!!!
I Hope he will be Aragorn in The Hunt For Gollum. He's ARAGORN, The only king
He is getting cloeser to the actual age of Aragorn in the original trilogy lmfao 🤣
Hunt for Gollum sounds like a horrible idea and will bomb
PLEASE NOT IN RINGS OF POWER!!!!
Rest in Peace Bernard Hill, he was one of the greatest actors in LOTR, his speeches, and his death scene really impressed me, it is one of the most believable and real death scenes I've ever seen. What a great human being he was.
No please no. Don’t do it Viggo.
How perfect was he as Aragorn
Haven’t seen him in a long time thought he’d look old but he looks really good.
I'm old, Gandalf.
Some things should just end.
I love Viggo and I can’t imagine anyone else as “Aragorn”!!!
As Gandalf only ONE can play Aragorn and that is Viggo. The Fans do not care that the Actors did got older.
