leak of action figures from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey toy line has provided the first look at Tauriel as played by Evangeline Lilly (left). The below image is probably her stunt double I think taken from one of the production videos. The character is Mirkwood Elf that is likely involved in the capture of Bilbo and the dwarves and may play a part in The Battle of Five Armies in the last film. What other part she may play remains unknown as she was created by Peter Jackson and company for the trilogy and not based on a specific The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings character.
