Orlando Bloom To Return To Middle Earth?

It's been rumored that "The Hobbit" will be adding another cast member to the pay role. The rumor is that Orlando Bloom, who played Legolas in "The Lord Of The Rings" trilogy will be returning to the role in "The Hobbit: Part 1&2".
There's been no word yet from Bloom or Jackson or even from the studio wether he'll be returning or not, but I'm sure he will, because he's doing fuck all right now.
