Actually we can't be certain on that as Lee is again reprising the role of Saruman for
The Hobbit films and also engaged in other projects including Tim Burton's
Dark Shadows. So it's better to keep our fingers crossed & hope for the best.
But do you think "age" is a considerable factor to play certain roles? As a fan of Hammer films & Bram Stoker's Dracula what would you like to see for the roles...young or older talents? Let's have some speculation for the cast of Dracula & Van Helsing. So now other than Lee for Helsing what actors you'd like to prefer for such legendary roles?
I just found
this blog where the writer suggested some names (
after having a troll around the internet!)...mostly the big names from Hollywood where some are interesting and some are alarming also.
But that list on the blog didn't mention the following two actors who I think can be interesting to see play the roles...
Though he may not as talented or wonderful actor like Peter Cushing but Fassbender can be a decent choice for not only Helsing but Baron Frankenstein also, IMO!
