Orlando Bloom Confirmed for THE HOBBIT

Movie Casting The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey about 12 years agoby Joey Paur

Peter Jackson gave a little update on his Facebook page letting the world know that Orlando Bloom is officially on board to reprise his role as Legolas in The Hobbit, which is awesome. We expected him to come back, but it wasn't set in stone until now. Normally I wouldn't be excited about Bloom being cast in anything, but he is Legolas, it's the best role he's ever had and it will be great to see him return to Middle Earth. Here's what Jackson had to say,

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.

Are you excited to see Bloom reprise his role in The Hobbit?
