Expect to see the Khazad-dûm in its full glory. Owain Arthur plays Durin IV, the prince of Khazad-dûm, the dwarven mines seen in ruins in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. No character by that name appears in the books. Game of Thrones alumni Joseph Mawle, a veteran television and film actor best known for playing Benjen Stark, will portray the villain Oren. Those are the three best-known characters in the upcoming show, minus Sauron – no word yet on who will be playing the dark lord. Trace that guy to the tragic, final decision rather than the mistake of a fool." "He’s the young member of the family who has optimism and immaturity. "You meet Isildur and he’s like Michael Corleone," McKay told Vanity Fair (opens in new tab). Bean's Holiday (he's in his mid-twenties now, because yes, we're old), will play the one-day king Isildur. Maxim Baldry, formerly best known as the kid from Mr. Robert Aramayo, who previously played a young Ned Stark in Game of Thrones, replaced Midsommar's Will Poulter as a young Elrond. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power cast is huge, so let's start with the big hitters: Saint Maud actress Morfydd Clark has signed on to play a young Galadriel. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power cast Sauron's going to show up, and so, too, will the Númenorean king Isildur. However, there are a few elves who are definitely showing up, with Galadriel and set to appear. The setting does mean that Frodo, Aragorn, and the majority of mortal characters will not appear in the series. "As long as we're painting within those lines and not egregiously contradicting something we don't have the rights to, there's a lot of leeway and room to dramatize and tell some of the best stories that ever came up with." "There's a version of everything we need for the Second Age in the books we have the rights to," he said.
We do not have the rights to The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, The History of Middle-earth, or any of those other books."ĭon't worry too much, though, as McKay explained how they're handling adapting the Second Age without access to all of Tolkien's works.
"We have the rights solely to The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King, the appendices, and The Hobbit," Payne said. Payne have previously opened up on what they can and can't adapt in the new series. It's worth noting that, in the books, the Second Age lasted 3441 years, so there are a lot of stories to tell over multiple seasons.

They lived there until their home was destroyed, making Númeno – which will appear in the series – a ruin by the events of the main Lord of the Rings story. The setting was revealed when Amazon posted an image of the island of Númenor, home to Aragorn's people, the Númenoreans (who are, to simplify things, humans with a very long lifespan). The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power takes place in the Second Age, thousands of years before the main Lord of the Rings trilogy.
