User blog comment:Glorfion/Elros in the Hobbit: The desolation of Smaug/@comment-86.29.52.233-20130813211337

Elrond and Elros was given a choice by the Valar to which race they wanted to be apart of at the nd of the first age; Elrond wanted to be apart of the Eldar/ elves and Elros chose to be apart of the Edain/ men. Elros became the first King of Numenor and lived for 500 years into the Second age; Numenorians were gifted with a long life span, but they didn't have Immortality as the elves. So at time of the Hobbit Elros would have been died for more then 5,000 years. I very much doubt Peter Jackson would resurrect Elros and give him a role the Hobbit; Desolation of Smaug.

Hope that helps
