Evangeline Lilly Talks “Hobbit” and Tauriel


While on a press tour for the DVD release of Real Steel, Evangeline Lilly sat down for a talk with EW and the conversation inevitably turned to her time on Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit. While Lilly was careful not to real any jaw-dropping secrets, she did give us a bit more information about her mysterious character “Tauriel“. Here’s what she said:

“Yes, she is a warrior. She’s actually the head of the Elven guard. She’s the big shot in the army. So she knows how to wield any weapon, but the primary weapons that she uses are a bow and arrow and two daggers. And she’s lethal and deadly. You definitely wouldn’t want to be caught in a dark alley next to Tauriel.”

What do you think? Does this bode well for the film? Or is it too much tampering on the part of Peter Jackson?

And in case you’ve been living under a rock for the past year, here’s the trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
