It would be fun if he's not Gandalf, but it's also cool if they're adding to the depth of Gandalf's character in the same way that they have with Galadriel and Elrond, making them more complex and rich for viewers who only know them from the lotr movies. Whether he's Gandalf or not, the journey to the east with him and Nori is something to look forward to. Hopefully we get to see more whole new environments in the East. With the visual effects quality they've shown so far it could be quite fun.
