Doing a bit of promotional work for the DVD and Blu-ray release of Real Steel, Evangeline Lilly has been nattering to Entertainment Weekly. And as part of the discussion, inevitably, talk turned to The Hobbit. Specifically, she's revealed a bit more about her character.

Lilly is playing a warrior elf in the movie, by the name of Tauriel. “She’s actually the head of the Elven guard”, reveals Lilly. “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.”

Lilly revealed that “she’s not in the first film very much. She comes into the first film near the end, and has a very small part to play. Her role in the second film is much more involved.”

She also said that she’s done six months of shooting, “on and off”, for the films so far, and “I still have to go back for five more months of filming”.
