Peter Jackson has told MTV that he only sees a return to Middle Earth for 3 of the original Lord of the Rings cast.
It’s been known for sometime that Sir Ian McKellen will return to his role as Gandalf but Jackson says he also expects Cate Blanchett to return as Galadriel and Hugo Weaving as Elrond.
“They are Elves, so once again, in the realm of Middle-earth, they’re immortal, they don’t age,” he told MTV when asked about returning actors. “We have a process that would start with showing them the script. We’re not [beginning] any official process until we have the ‘official’ script that they can read.”
“In some respects, it’s a prequel. In book terms, the world of ‘The Hobbit’ takes place 60 years before ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ as it was written by Tolkien. So, not a lot of the characters actually feature, because they weren’t around yet.”
I imagine Andy Serkis just slipped his mind……hopefully
