Unfortunately, Sir Ian McKellen, who is reprising his role from The Lord of the Rings trilogy as Gandalf the Grey, is unable to attend.
“It is thrilling that Peter and my other friends from the cast and crew will be re-united for the world premiere,” he said. “I know they will have a wonderful welcome from the fans and I envy them. As ever, my heart is in Wellington, and I send my love.”
Luckily, McKellen will be attending the December 6 premiere in New York City and the December 12 Royal Film Performance premiere in London.
Are you disappointed that Ian McKellen won’t be there for the world premiere of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey?
