Gandalf for sure but we knew that already

The only news I've been able to find ALL week is that Ian McKellan will be Gandalf again - it's not even worth including the sources as that's all they say.

Any word on the role of Radagast?  I sure hope that Jackson/Del Toro don't cut out that role, like the makers of the trilogy did to Tom Bombadil.  I hope that Radagast and Beorn will both be included in the films, as they are amazing characters.

I agree completely - although have not heard anything.

I would burn all of my LotR merchandise if they didn't include Beorn!

Well maybe not, but still, they best include him.

With Jackson making two films you'd think they would be able to include him.  But something tells me that he could be another Tom Bombadil.  Radagast is more of a sure thing IMO.  Beorn is so crucial to the Battle of Five Armies that it would be really unfortunate to not include him.
