Cate Blanchett as Galadriel
Cate Blanchett says she was thrilled when she finally found out that she would be part of The Hobbit trilogy.
The Oscar winning actress reprises the role of Galadriel in the Peter Jackson directed movie but it was quite a wait to discover if she was going to be part of the film.
Speaking to Flicks and Bits the actress said: "I kept getting the answer that Peter doesn't know yet, because of course Galadriel doesn't appear much in The Hobbit book, so I was hoping against hope.
"And then when I got word that, in fact, she was going to be in a small section of it I was over the moon.
"It was a little bit like returning to summer camp, in that so many of the people that were a part of the first journey are a part of this journey.
"It's an amazing thing to be able to return to something that begun 12 years ago."
And she is not the only familiar face returning as Ian Holm, Elijah Wood, and Hugo Weaving are just some of the actors that will be reprising roles.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is released 13th December.
