It's a possibility, but that'll depend on how RA wants to schedule his time, and for all we know, Lucas could have a similar exit like Tom's. Not everyone has to die. And seeing as how RA is also doing Strike Back which airs in late 2011, he could work out a time slot. I mean, Martin Freeman's also doing Sherlock's second series and he was able to work out the scheduling conflicts.

I am glad however that Richard's talents are being recognized, it was nice that Peter Jackson is quoted as saying, "Richard is one of the most exciting and dynamic actors working on screen today and we know he is going to make an amazing Thorin Oakenshield. We cannot wait to start this adventure with him and feel very lucky that one of the most beloved characters in Middle Earth is in such good hands."

Either way how Lucas's storyline works out, this LOTR deal is gonna be a HUGE boost to Richard's fame and career!
