First Look At Evangeline Lilly In ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug’

We’re now just six months away from the wildly anticipated release of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, and New Line Cinema has just given us our first look at Evangeline Lilly in the film.

The Lost actor portrays the Elven warrior Tauriel, who is a character created solely for the film adaptation in order to offset the predominantly male cast. Tauriel is the head of the Elven Guard, and is “slightly reckless and totally ruthless and doesn’t hesitate to kill”, according to Lilly. Sounds good to me.

Take a gander at Tauriel below, and let us know what you think! Are you Tolkien purists okay with the addition? The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug hits theatres on December 13th!
