“Evangeline Lilly will be playing a new character—the Woodland Elf, Tauriel,” Jackson wrote on his Facebook page. “Her name means ‘daughter of Mirkwood’ and, beyond that, we must leave you guessing!”
The director squashed any future fanboy rumors that the addition of Evangeline is a sign of an elf romance brewing with another favorite pointy-eared Middle Earth resident.
