Beloved Lord of the Rings actor Hugo Weaving declares that he's "had enough" of Middle-earth and won't return to portray Elrond in the future.

In a recent interview with GamesRadar+ about his current project Slow Horses, Hugo Weaving, who portrayed Elrond in Lord of the Ring s, confirmed he will not be returning to the role. Despite being a fan-favorite character, Weaving shared that while he enjoyed his time in the franchise, he is ready to leave Middle-earth behind.

Hugo Weaving has weighed in on whether or not he would consider coming back for the next set of Lord of the Rings films.

But while Andy has confirmed he will reprise the role – and be the film’s director- his former co-star Hugo Weaving is not on the same page. The Slow Horses actor, who played Elrond in the original films, said he had ‘absolutely no desire’ to be a part of Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum.

A Lord of the Rings star has “no plans or desires” to return to Middle-earth for a new franchise. While Sir Ian McKellen has revealed the condition under which he’ll return as Gandalf, one of his co-stars – Hugo Weaving – does not share his enthusiasm for The Hunt for Gollum, which will star and be directed by Andy Serkis.

Watching the Lord of the Rings movies, specifically Fellowship of the Ring, Galadriel – who is played by the ethereal Cate Blanchett – is a powerful and graceful elf who occasionally assists Frodo and co, especially in the wisdom department. However, in Rings of Power, we get to see a totally different side of her.

The battles shown in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy were not the only clashes that arose from Sauron's reign of terror.
