And that would be a good thing. I do not want to see cookie-cutter films. It would be great to have continuity in that the world of Middle-earth is the same visually and in design, the necessary actors are brought back, and the tone and feeling is more or less consistent. But to hire a talent like Del Toro and then not use his talents - that would be a waste of his abilities and a waste of the opportunity.
