Andy Serkis defends all-white cast of "The Hunt for Gollum": Middle-earth draws on Norse mythology

Andy Serkis responded to criticism over the all-white cast of "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum," which stars Jamie Dornan, Anya Taylor-Joy, Kate Winslet, Elijah Wood and Ian McKellen, among others. Speaking to the BBC, Serkis argued that Tolkien's work is deeply rooted in Norse mythology, making Middle-earth feel "very, very white." His comments have reignited debate about diversity in fantasy film productions.
