Orlando Bloom Reprising Legolas For The Hobbit

It looks like Legolas is headed back to Middle Earth. Deadline reports that Orlando Bloom is set to reprise the role of Elf Legolas in The Hobbit. It's expected that Hugo Weaving, Sir Ian McKellan and Andy Serkis will be returning as well as their characters are prominent in the book. Yet they haven't completed deals at this moment.
