Ian McKellen has made it very well-known that he'll reprise the role of Gandalf in The Hobbit.

But what about Viggo  Mortensen? Is Aragorn going to be in the new film about Middle Earth or not?

“Ian is very proactive. He’s been banging that drum!” Mortensen told MTV. “It was a very important project to all of us and especially to him I think. He wants to make sure Gandalf is in there and in there early! I’m going to cross that bridge when I get to it.”
