Sir Ian McKellen has confirmed that will be reprising his role as Gandalf the Gray in the upcoming Guillermo Del Toro picture THE HOBBIT. He told Empire: "Well, I haven’t had the contract yet but it’s everyone’s intention that I play Gandalf so yes, I will be returning to the role. Although it’s not until 2010, I’m very much excited about returning.”

Umm isn't this just the same shit that we've been hearing for like 6 months now? There's no way anyone else is gonna be cast in this role. At this point every time we report on this story we might as well be reporting that the sky is blue or that ninjas are awesome.

Extra Tidbit: McKellen's birthday is 3 days before mine. It's like we're brothers!

There is a new Batman movie? I hadn't heard about it!

As far as the Gandalf news goes, its not even really news... this has been more or less confirmed for a long time now.

Why dont they cast Chia Hui Liu (Pai Mei from Kill Bill), for the role and than we'll have THE perfect sorcerer/ninja/badass Gandalf.

I wonder if he'll lock lips once more with Jimmy Fallon when he's doing the promotion rounds and visits Fallon's Late Nite? Jimmy seemed to enjoy it when it first happened on SNL.
