Elijah Wood is the latest actor to confirm for the Hobbit -- all the news straight from Sundance up next!

Hey Everyone I'm Chelsea Cannell and you're watching Clevver Movies!

He's been holding out for some time but Elijah wood announced at Sundance that he WILL be joining the cast of the Hobbit as Frodo Baggins. Despite saying he'd never suit up as Frodo again, the actor has decided that his character's appearance in the movie makes sense for Jackson's adaptation. His hesitation of course was that Frodo never appeared in Tolkien's Hobbit.

Wood revealed at Sundance that Frodo's appearance will be a very small piece but that's what the actor feels is most appropriate. The star wouldn't say much else about the nature of his role but rumor has it he'll appear in the beginning of each of the 2 films.

While fans are already excited at the news, Wood seems to be equally as enthusiastic. Naturally it'll be a welcomed reunion for the cast after a 7 year break and a trip back to New Zealand surely isn't anything you'd have to twist his arm over.

How do you guys feel about Frodo making a comeback in the Hobbit? Does it bother you that he wasn't a part of Tolkiens original tale or are you just happy that the writers found a way to fit him in? Let us know if your how you feel in the comment section. And don't forget to subscribe to our channel for all the latest movie news.
