Viggo Mortensen Already Set Up His 2026 Lord Of The Rings Comeback 16 Years Ago

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Viggo Mortensen could finally return to the Lord of the Rings franchise in 2026 – a prospect made more likely by the actor's previous stance on projects set in Middle-earth. Despite being an established star today, Viggo Mortensen arguably only achieved global fame off the back of his performance as Aragorn in the original series.

Viggo Mortensen Wouldn't Appear In The Hobbit To Preserve Book Canon Despite the popularity of his take on Aragorn, Viggo Mortensen hasn't appeared in a Lord of the Rings or Hobbit movie since 2003's Return of the King. While on one level this may seem strange, it actually makes perfect sense for the character, given the stories that have been told.

Before they started shooting...one of the producers did ask if I would be interested. I said, 'You do know, don't you, that Aragorn isn't in The Hobbit? That there is a 60-year gap between the books?'
