Gandalf is having a resurgence in The Lord of the Rings, but this could present some problems for the franchise. No one could argue that 2024 wasn’t a good year for J.R.R. Tolkien’s seminal story, The Lord of the Rings. Released in three parts between 1954 and 1955, the novel was adapted into Peter Jackson’s famous Lord of the Rings movies between 2001 and 2003. Gandalf was, as per the book, a main character in these movies. Amazon Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power confirmed its own version of Gandalf in 2024 in season 2.
