In a move that will surprise absolutely no-one, Guillermo del Toro has confirmed that Hugo Weaving will return to the Hobbit films, assumed to reprise his role as pointy-eared ring-bearer Elrond.
The helmer spilled the beans whilst being interviewed on BBC radio, with a sharp-eared reader on TheOneNet.Net posting the news.
Andy Serkis and Ian McKellen are also set to return as Gollum and Gandalf respectively.
The Hobbit - to be split over two movies but now without a bridge film - will be released in December 2011 and 2012.
