Latest Hobbit Rumor: James McAvoy as Young Bilbo Baggins The casting rumors for The Hobbit are swirling around and change from week to week. The latest rumor is that a young Bilbo Baggins will be played by James McAvoy.
Although director Guillermo del Toro and producer Peter Jackson recently said that casting on The Hobbit won't start in earnest until next year, the rumor mill is suggesting that the filmmakers already have the actor in mind for the lead role of Bilbo Baggins.McAvoy would do a great job. Daniel Radcliffe? That's an interesting idea, as well. But Jack Black?? Is that a joke? We do like Jack, but he's no Bilbo. Could this be the source of these insidious "Jack Black as Bilbo Baggins" rumors? We feel kind of queasy just thinking about it. And as for Guillermo del Toro directing: we better not see even one of those Pan's Labyrinth-style creatures in Hobbiton. They've already made their way into Hellboy 2. You know the ones we mean.
