Last Friday, director Guillermo del Toro
announced on BBC Radio 5's Simon Mayo that Hugo Weaving will reunite with Andy Serkis and Ian McKellen in
The Hobbit "...as the roles they originated in the trilogy."
Weaving told
Moviehole today that he's interested in returning as Elrond, but that he hasn't been spoken to yet.
"I knew that if and when it happened I'd get a call and we'd chat about it, but I haven't spoken to anyone about it. Someone said to me 'I hear you're doing the Hobbit?' I said 'Well, um, probably', they said "No, no. you've signed on'. I haven't actually talked to anyone about it. Doesn't mean I won't be doing it, [I'm] just not onboard yet."

here. The first of the two films is scheduled to be released in December of 2011 followed by the second in December of 2012.

Weaving will most likely be in this film, but its going to be a unusual feeling if Holm is not part of this project.
McAvoy could be ok
As for Hugo... COME BACK! You gotta play Elrond!
Still curious as to who will play the infamous Smaug... now that's got me pumping just as much as any other casting.
