It was one zoom to rule them all when Josh Gad<\/a><\/strong> reunited the cast of The Lord of the Rings<\/em> trilogy on his YouTube series Reunited Apart<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the newest rendition of his hit reunion show, the Frozen<\/em> star hosted a massive video chat with Sean Astin, Elijah Wood, Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd, <\/strong>Orlando Bloom<\/a><\/strong> Sir Ian McKellan, Peter Jackson <\/strong>and more. This episode of the series, which has raised money for various charities throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, is supporting the organization No Kid Hungry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gad, giddy to speak with the cast, gave The Lord of the Rings<\/em> franchise quite the introduction.<\/p>\n

“In December of 2001, this movie and the trilogy to follow would bring with them a level of excitement and anticipation not seen since the days of the Star Wars<\/em> films,” Gad geeked.<\/p>\n

“It was a trilogy that would make mainstream words like hobbits, orcs, ringwraiths, elves, dwarves, wizards,” he continued. “Of course, a place that all of us would like to shelter-in-place right now, The Shire.”<\/p>\n

The massive meeting starts off with just Gad and Astin, who recently participated in another Reunited Apart<\/em> with the cast of The Goonies<\/a>,<\/em> entering a quest to reunite the group. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I was wondering what you might think about tracking down a certain group of buddies, comrades, pals,” Gad inquired. “What’s another word for that? Maybe, I don’t know, a fellowship?”<\/p>\n

“You’ve got to be out of your mind man, come on!” Astin replied.<\/p>\n

“You fought off an army of orcs multiple times,” Gad said, as he rattled off a series of Astin’s character, Samwise Gamgee’s adventures. “…ran away from Gollum, all to destroy the most powerful ring in the world, how hard can a f–king phone call to Elijah Wood be?!”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In a matter of minutes, cast member after cast member populate the epic reunion, which you can watch in full above.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most epic arrival is when Ian McKellen enters reciting a famous piece of dialogue from his celebrated character, Gandalf, before cracking a joke.<\/p>\n

“I remember when we all said goodbye, 30 years ago, that we were all going to have regular reunions,” McKellen joked. “Have you been having these reunions without me?”<\/p>\n

Just moments later, when the actors each share their matching tattoos<\/a> \u2014 the word “nine” in Elvish \u2014 the 81-year-old knight caused another clamor while pointing to his shoulder, “When I read this, upside down of course, it spells Gucci.”<\/p>\n

This is the fourth installment of Reunited Apart <\/em>series, which has also brought together the cast of Splash \u2014<\/em> featuring Tom Hanks, Daryl Hannah, Eugene Levy, Ron Howard<\/strong> \u2014<\/em> and Back To The Future<\/em> \u2014 featuring Michael J. Fox<\/a><\/strong> and Christopher Lloyd.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In a recent interview with E! News<\/em>‘ Lilliana Vazquez about his new animated series Central Park<\/em>, Gad revealed the cast he’d love to reunite next.<\/p>\n

“I would love to do Coming to America<\/em>,” Gad said. “Eddie Murphy<\/a><\/strong>, I would love for you to come on and do Reunited Apart<\/em>!”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
