Sir Peter Jackson has updated his
Facebook profile with news that Orlando Bloom has joined the cast of The Hobbit to reprise the role of Legolas. His return to the role has been
rumored for a while now.
Ten years ago, Orlando Bloom created an iconic character with his portrayal of Legolas. I’m excited to announce today that we’ll be revisiting Middle Earth with him once more. I’m thrilled to be working with Orlando again. Funny thing is, I look older—and he doesn’t! I guess that’s why he makes such a wonderful elf.
The extent of the is unknown as the character does not appear in The Hobbit novel but Bilbo and the Dwarves do travel do briefly stay in Rivendell. It is also possible that he may be part of the Battle of Five Armies or really any elves aspect when the story likely gets into more details on the history of Middle-Earth beyond what is in The Hobbit novel.
