doug-jonesForummer Elven has shared with us a great piece that appeared in MTV Movies Blog. In interview, Doug Jones, a regular in Guillermo del Toro’s movies, and better known for his roles as Silver Surfer, Abe Sapien in Hellboy and the Faun in Pan’s Labyrinth, said that while nothing is official yet,

“There’s been lots of speculation. I wouldn’t want to ruin anything. Guillermo creates things with me in mind and he’s got a better image of what I can do than I do,” […] “However, there might be an elf king, father of Legolas kind of character that I would love.”

That would be King Thranduil of Mirkwood. What do you think? Do you like Doug Jones as the Elven King? Come discuss it in our forums! [MTV Movies Blog] [TORn Forums] [Doug Jones on imdb.com]
