It was announced earlier this year that J.R.R. Tolkien's book The Hobbit is to be made into two films, with Guillermo del Toro directing.
Speaking at the RingCon Lord Of The Rings convention, Rhys-Davies, who played Gimli in the trilogy, was asked whether he would like to take a role in the prequels.
A source told TheOneRing.net: "[He said] he had spoken with both Peter [Jackson] and Guillermo about a role, and he really was thinking about it. But he wasn’t to sure if he would want to play just one of 13 dwarves, since he was THE dwarf.
"But if Gimli was in film 2, he would love to play the part again."
