If it is a "straight" two part adaptation of The Hobbit rather than Hobbit plus fill in then there isn't ... at a stretch they might get Legolas in and Orlando Bloom is still young enough to get away with it since an elf would at least not be expected to look younger in The Hobbit than in LOTR merely unchanged. I don't think it would be a great idea though. If it were a voice part like Treebeard John RD would do Beorn as well as many if they include that episode but from what I recall he wouldn't do the latex mask again for all the tea in China.

I wonder how they will handle the dwarves. Half of them have no discernable personality or more than a couple of lines yet they will be in most of the scenes. Really could be anyone behind the masks... glorified extras or ?
