Excitement is brewing as the enchanting realm of Middle-earth makes a comeback. The Lord of the Rings franchise is captivating audiences once more, with the upcoming second season of Prime Video's lavish series, an anime movie set for release in December, and a new live-action film titled The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum on the horizon. While Andy Serkis is confirmed to direct and reprise his role as Gollum in the new film, questions linger about whether any actors from the original trilogy will return.
This week, in a conversation with Variety, Orlando Bloom shared his thoughts on reprising his role as Legolas in a potential future project. He expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of returning, acknowledging the advancements in technology that could facilitate it. If Peter Jackson were to call him back for a role, Bloom made it clear that he would be eager to comply, reflecting on how Jackson played a pivotal role in launching his career.
Scheduled to hit theaters in 2026, the new film series has yet to confirm whether Legolas will feature in it or any other upcoming project, but fans are certainly hoping for the beloved elf's return. The anticipation is building, and many are eager to see Legolas with his iconic bow once again.
