Peter Jackson has indicated as many cast members from the LOTR movies as the story and the actors’ schedules allow will be included. For a complete listing of cast members, please visit our Hobbit Movie Cast page [Cast Page] Many core actors are returning including, Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Andy Serkis as Gollum, Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins, Christopher Lee as Saruman, and Orlando Bloom as Legolas. Per PJ: “You can read “The Hobbit” and pretty much see which characters play a part. The unknown factor is Film Two, which we are still developing. If we wished to write one of the LOTR characters into the narrative of Film Two, we would only do that with that actors blessing, and willingess to take part. Otherwise we’d take the writing in another direction.”
