During the trailer forThe War of the Rohirrim, audiences were treated to their first look at Saruman.
“Is this for real?! I had no idea Saruman would feature,” exclaimed Redditor Son_of_kitsch.
In the live action films, it was Christopher Lee who portrayed this iconic villain.
Sadly, Lee has since passed, leaving fans to debate who will be able to capture the deep, commanding tones that Lee made synonymous with the character.

Throughout the discussions, many believe it’ll be actor Corey Burton, best known for voicing Count Dooku in the Star Wars animations, who’ll voice Saruman.
