Viggo Mortensen Asked Peter Jackson if He Could Use Aragorn’s Sword in a New Movie, Says He’d Star in New ‘Lord of the Rings’ Movie Only ‘If I Was Right for the Character’
Viggo Mortensen is open to playing Aragorn in the new "Lord of the Rings" movie only if it makes sense.
Viggo Mortensen revealed in an interview with GQ UK magazine that he used Aragorn’s iconic sword Andúril from “ Lord of the Rings ” in his latest movie, “The Dead Don’t Hurt.” Mortensen wrote and directed the 19th century Western, in which he stars as a Danish immigrant separated from his love (Vicky Krieps) during the Civil War. For one fantasy sequence in the film, Mortensen asked his “Lord of the Rings” director Peter Jackson if he had his permission to use Aragorn’s sword again on screen. Jackson is returning to Middle-Earth as the producer of a new “Lord of the Rings” movie that is going to be directed by Gollum actor Andy Serkis.
