McKellan, Serkis, and Weaving reprising their roles?
Certainly. You want to write in some Legolas stuff for the
Battle of Five Armies so you can get Bloom in to up the fangirl
quotient? Knock yourself out.

He's the son of Thranduil, I'm sure he'll be there during the
Mirkwood Elf scenes.

If New Line and Orlando Bloom's agent can come to an agreement,
definitely. If not, I'd guess he'll still be namechecked.

One or the other will probably be done with Gimli as well, though
obviously John Rhys-Davies isn't as much of a box-office draw (and
may not be up to actually appearing as a younger version of
himself).

That's an easy one -- dwarves age so slowly that he'd look the same.
