Taking on Aragorn is no small task, and Jamie Dornan knows it! The actor is stepping into the role of a younger Aragorn, also known as Strider, in The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum. Speaking about the casting, Dornan admitted there's pressure in following Viggo Mortensen's iconic performance, but said he feels honoured by the opportunity. He's also made it clear that he's not trying to outdo Mortensen. The film is set to bring audiences back to Middle-earth in December 2027.
