Will Orlando Bloom Return to The Hobbit?

Actor Orlando Bloom may be returning to his role as Legolas in The Hobbit.

According to FemaleFirst, several actors from The Lord of the Rings may be starring in The Hobbit under the direction of Guillermo Del Toro. 

Orlando Bloom, Cate Blanchett, Viggo Mortensen and Elijah Wood have all said that they are interested in returning to their roles.  According to Del Toro, it’s completely possible. 

However, there may be some issues to consider.  Del Toro explained to MTV, "The thing is that here and there in the book, in the existing book, there are places to have them almost casually, in secondary roles that are not that important but that would be incredibly enhancing as cameos go."

Two films are planned for The Hobbit, and the director feels that there will be more room for the characters to expand in the second installment.  Del Toro added that the screenplay still hasn’t been written, so it’s premature to make any commitments at this point.

In the meantime, Orlando Bloom fans will have to wait until next year to see him on the silver screen in the film New York, I Love You.
