Andy Serkis has said his Lord Of The Rings film The Hunt For Gollum will address concerns about diversity “where relevant” and without just “ticking boxes” during an interview with the BBC.
The BBC asked the veteran actor and director about what they described as a “lack of diversity” in the Lord Of The Rings film franchise and asked Serkis why his LoR film The Hunt For Gollum has so far only announced white actors as its main cast.
“Tolkien himself was influenced a lot by Norse mythology; there’s a lot of that feeling,” Serkis told the BBC.
