While he does not specifically say he is returning as Elrond, when speaking of Andy Serkis, Ian McKellen and Weaving he says, &#8220;<em>&#8230;as the roles they originated in the trilogy<\/em>.&#8221; I think we can make a good assumption that means Elrond! Take a moment to listen to the Simon Mayo broadcast over at BBC &#8211; the Hobbit casting talk is around the 02:10:55 point. Enjoy!
