You might not have spotted Stephen Colbert's cameo in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug as 'Lake-Town Spy.' But the Late Show host has BIG plans for the future of his cameo character.
So big in fact, that while he was visiting New Zealand, Colbert pitched a brand new spinoff trilogy to Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson himself.
"What if we spun off my character Lake-Town Spy into his own series of trilogies? What about this for a back story: my character is actually Aragorn's slightly hotter twin brother Darrylgorn?" asked Colbert.
"Well look...uhhh....no," was Jackson's response.
Keen to turn that no into a yes, Colbert took the liberty of making a trailer for his delightfully far-fetched Lord Of The Rings spinoff.
"Know only this: I am called the Lake Town Spy, mayhap you recognise my visage from The Desolation of Smaug," declares Darrylgorn in the trailer.
"Legends told that Aragorn had an even more ruggedly handsome identical twin and who might that be? Guys come on, it's me! I am Darrylgorn."
