Elijah Wood says he’d oppose any other actor playing Frodo Baggins, as a 2027 "Lord of the Rings" film nears.

Elijah Wood has stated he wouldn’t want another actor to play Frodo Baggins as long as he is alive, though he hasn’t confirmed a return to the role. The upcoming film, "The Hunt for Gollum," set for December 2027 and directed by Andy Serkis, will explore events between the original trilogy and "The Fellowship of the Ring." Wood expressed excitement about reuniting with the original creative team, including Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens, who are producing. While no official casting has been announced, speculation grows following Ian McKellen’s hints about Frodo and Gandalf’s appearances.
