James McAvoy, From Mr Tumnus To Bilbo Baggins.

Looks like James McAvoy is top of the list to play Bilbo Baggins in the new Hobbit movies.

From all the names being bandied about (Jack Black, Daniel Radcliffe and others), James McAvoy’s name has been yelled the loudest. James has still to be approached by Guillermo Del Toro and Peter Jackson but looks like this will be sorted out soon with them all getting together and making James the offer.

Guillermo recently told Empire, “I can tell you it’s down to a few names that we all agree upon. For our first choice, completely magically, we all said the same name.” He never mentioned who’s name they all thought of.

As everyone knows, Sir Ian Holm played Bilbo in the Lord of the Rings trilogy but the Hobbit obviously requires younger actor since it chronicles the adventures of a young Bilbo Baggins and his quest to the Misty Mountains to face the fierce dragon, Smaug.
