The Lord of the Rings cinematic universe will return in 2026 and many actors have revealed their intention to return
With the announcement of a new film in the Lord of the Rings franchise with Gollum as the protagonist, many actors from the original trilogy have expressed their desire to return to the saga playing their respective characters.
This time, it has been Orlando Bloomwho played the beloved Legolas in the trilogy directed by Peter Jackson, who revealed his desire to play the combat expert elf again during an interview at the Texas Superhero Comic Con this weekend.
“I was only about 20 when I went to New Zealand for The Lord of the Rings, I turned 21 a couple of months into filming and… inhabiting the headspace of an elf was a lot of fun”
Little by little, the list of actors who have expressed their intention to return to the saga if the script requires it, continues to grow. First it was Viggo Mortensen, then Ian McKellen, and now Bloom. The Fellowship of the Ring is forming again, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see them in action in the future.
The short and long-term projects of the Lord of the Rings saga are increasingly numerous. The first will arrive this year in the form of an anime, War of the Rohirrim. The next one, The Hunt For Gollum, directed and starring Andy Serkis and produced by Peter Jackson, is scheduled for 2026.
