Despite rumors to the contrary, director Guillermo del Toro and producer Peter Jackson say they are still a month or two away from casting who will play Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit. The main casting rumor emerged about a month ago, claiming Tobey Maguire was a definite for the role. Jackson and del Toro have both denied this rumor, while stating that they are fans of Maguire.
However, now that Tobey is no longer doing Spider-Man 4, does that make him a likely candidate for the finder of One Ring? Personally, our money is on no, because he's not quite the right fit for the role. Of all the Lord of the Rings characters, we most hope they bring back Ian McKellen as Gandalf (which has been rumored).
