Since 2001 and the Lord of the Rings: the community of the ring, the face of the character of Gandalf is commonly associated with that of actor Ian McKellen.The British actor had the honor of embodying him in the trilogies of the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, but could well pass the relay in the TV series of Amazon.And for good reason, according to this actress of the two rounds, the role should come back to a woman.
In an interview at the microphone of Stuff.nz, actress Robyn Malcolm, who interpreted the role of Morwen in the Lord of the Rings: the two towers, did not fail to share his desire to see the role of Gandalf return to awoman.According to her, the two trilogies based on the universe of J.R.R. Tolkien were too focused on male roles and the next creations should now give way to more important female role, starting with the Amazon series.

But who to replace Ian McKellen in the role of Gandalf?Malcolm has some actresses in mind, from Rena Owen (The soul of the warriors, Siren) to Rachel House (Topaz in Thor: Ragnarok), via Alfre Woodard (Desperate Housewives, Twelve Years a Slave, State of Affairs, Empire, Empire, Empire, Empire, Empire, Empire, EmpireLuke Cage), Judi Dench (M in James Bond from Goldeneye) or Eileen Atkins (The Crown) or Maggie Smith Minerva McGonagall in Harry Potter).
A casting decision that would not appeal to everyone, starting with the purists.Malcolm recalls that the Lord of the Rings is above all a fantasy, before continuing that the role of Hamlet, protagonist of the longest play by William Shakespeare, had been interpreted by women."So why not a female gandalf?"she continues.Difficult to believe that Amazon will dare to take the plunge for his series on the Lord of the Rings.At a time when these lines are written, only two actors have been announced by Amazon: Markella Kavenagh (Romper Stamper, The Cry), for the role of Tyra, and Will Poulter (Les Miller, a budding family, the labyrinth), which will perform one of the main characters.
