''Yeah. I don’t know how they’d do it. I guess with AI you can do anything these days. But, if Pete [Peter Jackson] says jump, I say, ‘how high?’ I mean, hestarted my whole career.”
Further talking, Bloom said that he had a chat with director Andy Serkis about his plans for the new movie based on Tolkien's universe.
He said, "I did speak to Andy [Serkis] and he did say they were thinking about how to do things. I was like, ‘How would that even work?’ And he was like, ‘Well, AI!’ and I was like, ‘Oh, OK!’ It was a pretty magical time in my life, and it’s one of those things where there’s not a downside to it.”
Bloom isn't the only original LOTR cast member who wants to return to Middle-earth. Before him, Ian McKellen saidhe's open to reprising the role of Gandalf in the upcoming new movie.
In an interview with British magazine The Big Issue, the actor said, “I’ve just been told there are going to be more films and Gandalf will be involved and they hope that I’ll be playing him”
He added, “When? I don’t know. What the script is? It’s not written yet. So they better be quick!”
Bloom and McKellen were part of the first three LOTR films.
Directed by Andy Serkis and produced by Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens, the film is currently in the early stages of development
