"It was a very surreal moment to get back into the role, yeah," says Orlando. "Picked up a bow and arrow, seemed to still have it, which was kind of cool."

Part two of the epic, three-part Hobbit saga follows Martin Freeman's Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf (Sir Ian McKellen), Thorin Oakenshield (Armitage) and his band of dwarves as they journey to Lonely Mountain to battle the dragon Smaug (Cumberbatch) and reclaim their untold treasures. Legolas (Bloom) and fellow elf Tauriel (Evangeline Lilly) track the dwarves after they escape the elven woods and become embroiled in the quest.
