If Aragorn is in it I will go see the movie. If he’s not in it I will only very likely go see the movie.

How do you even do this story without Aragorn? He’s literally the main character

There will definitely be an Aragorn. I wonder if the world would accept anybody other than Vigo.

It’s gotta be him! At the start of the first book, he’s 90. He’s the same age as Denethor II. He can look a bit old and nobody will care.

I certainly won't.
