One of the most-exciting aspects of this annoucement for Tolkien fans is Embracer’s suggestion that it will explore “additional movies based on iconic characters such as Gandalf, Aragorn, Gollum, Galadriel, Éowyn and other characters from Tolkien’s literary works.”

Remember "Solo"?

At this point, I'm all for it. Would love to see an in-depth series on Aragorn if it tells the proper story, not the Peter Jackson edit of the story.

At least with those characters they will have more canon material to work with.

I feel the artists got sloppy by not replacing the gun with an arrow or something.
