Orlando Bloom once ruled Middle-earth with a bow, a quiver, and the silkiest blonde hair ever seen on screen. But after a $956M film, he decided to peace out fromThe Lord of the Ringsuniverse faster than Frodo bolting from Mordor. No more Legolas, no more elf drama, he was done. Or so we thought.
Now, Bloom’s suddenly singing a new tune, sparking buzz about a potential return. Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s the allure of another epic project, but fans are already sharpening their arrows in excitement.
Orlando Bloom thought he was done with Legolas, but Middle-Earth is calling him back for another adventure
Legolas fired his last arrow inThe Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, a blockbuster that crushed it with $956M. Back then,Orlando Bloomseemed done with Middle-earth, calling it the end of a very long chapter. Fast-forward to now, and he’s clearly having second thoughts. He revealed (viaMovies.ie),
No, I don’t think so. I don’t think that’s gonna happen. I think it’s done what it needed to do. It’s been a great journey and I think everyone feels that.
Bloom once said goodbye to New Zealand’s epic landscapes and Elven drama, calling his time as Legolas a “career-defining” run. Playing the bow-wielding Elf was an absolute privilege. Coming back forThe Hobbitwas a chance to dig into Legolas’ backstory. But another return? Nah, not happening, or so he thought.
The vibes have changed now. Speaking toVariety, Bloom revealed,
Oh, man, those things are amazing. Yeah. I don’t know how they’d do it. I guess with AI you can do anything these days. But, if Pete [Peter Jackson] says jump, I say, ‘how high?’ I mean, he started my whole career.
I really don’t know what [they are planning]…I did speak to Andy [Serkis] and he did say they were thinking about how to do things. I was like, ‘How would that even work?’ And he was like, ‘Well, AI!’ and I was like, ‘Oh, OK!’ It was a pretty magical time in my life, and it’s one of those things where there’s not a downside to it.
That’s right, he’s open to stepping back into Middle-earth as Warner Bros. gears up for a new live-actionLord of the Ringsseries. It kicks off in 2026 withThe Hunt for Gollum, directed by Andy Serkis (yep, Gollum himself). Serkis even teased some AI magic to bring it all together.
