I can see how Legolas could fit quite neatly into the story. At the time when he wrote The Hobbit, Tolkien may not actually have thought of the character of Legolas, but there is nothing to say Legolas would not have been in Mirkwood during Bilbo's time there. As long as they don't deviate too far from the book, I won't be too perturbed by the inclusion of Legolas.


I agree. Like it or not, many fans know only the movies, and also like it or not, the film has to be financially successful (and has some pretty big shoes to fill in that regard), so I can see why including some favorites from the films makes sense. I understand those who insist the movies follow the books to a "t" but I'm a huge Tolkien fan too, and I don't mind if the movies take on lives of their own, so to speak, as long as it's done respectfully to The Professor and his works :)

Yeah, its probably for the fans of the movies, bringing back familiar faces to help draw them in. I cant see him having anythin big though, i think die hard fans would have a fit if he joined Bilbo and the dwarfs.

All the same I still don't want him to have a huge role, I'd just like to see him hanging around in Mirkwood and maybe shooting a couple of goblins to death in the battle of the Five Armies:)


Agreed! Since he is the prince of Mirkwood, it makes sence that you might see him around.

I think it's great news! I mean, Legolas is the prince of Mirkwood after all, so it makes total sense that he'll be around. I'm not all crazy 'bout Legolas, but it's fun with some more familiar faces :D

Yep, it would be fun so see a familiar face! Besides Gandalf's and Elrond's of course, oh and isn't Galadriel supposed to be in it too? Anyway, I'm looking forward to it.

lol, I heard something to the extent that Legolas will be in it for a matter of a few minutes, and Orlando's getting paid $2 million for it. I guess everyone really wanted Legolas back. :P

i am one of the girls who are so happy that he wll be back! i don't really much care how long he i see him just as long as i do but hopefully he get more than 5 minutes, i really missed his character and i was hoping that Tolkien had a book of him hiding somewhere that nobody has seen yet (which i know is never gonna happen) just wishful thinking :P

He has a less than 2-minute appearance. You'll blink and miss him.

^ I'm really interested where you found out that information.

A lot of interviews with Orlando, I've read have said that he's going to and from New Zealand for several stints of shooting, which seems to be a bit excessive for 2 minute cameo :)

I agree. Secondly, I don't care if Legolas is back. I am however, happy to see that Galadriel is back even though she is not in the book.
