I hope to see Legolas's role expanded in Return of the King from what it has been in the past two movies. In the Fellowship movie, I thought he was interesting and I hoped to see his role expanded in the Two Towers. Unfortunately, Professor Tolkien never gave him a defined and interesting personality so Peter Jackson and Orlando Bloom had slim pickings to work with. I personally think Orlando Bloom is a better actor than he is given credit for and I hope that his role will not simply be reduced to acrobatic stunts and serious-faced observations about the obvious.
