Many of the stars are expected to return in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit -most notably the ones who have a major role in the timeline of The Hobbit. According to theonering.net, Cate Blanchett is confirmed as Galadriel. Rumors suggest Orlando Bloom will be returning in his role as Legolas. Hugo Weaving (Elrond) and Ian McKellan (Gandalf) are still unconfirmed, though they appear to be in negotiations and are expected to return. Martin Freeman is scheduled to play the young Bilbo Baggins.
Elijah Wood, however, is probably the last person you would think would be returning in The Hobbit. If you've somehow been living in a hobbit-hole, Elijah Wood played Frodo Baggins (Bilbo Baggins' 'nephew') in Peter Jackson's epic The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
The Hobbit is a prequel to The Lord of the Rings series, and takes place about 55 years earlier than the events in The Lord of the Rings and will open with a young Bilbo (played by Martin Freeman) who will be the hero of this particular story.
So in what capacity is Elijah returning? Rumors seem to suggest that the most likely idea is that he will act as a narrator to bridge the stories. But in what way this can work is questionable. What do you think? Can it somehow work, and most importantly, will it remain true to canon?
