A new trailer for Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power shows the young Galadriel and Elrond. Coming to Prime Video on September 2, 2022, the series is a prequel set thousands of years before the events of Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy, based on Tolkien’s legendary fantasy novels of the same name. .
It will follow the major events of the Second Age of Middle-earth, including the creation of the titular rings of power, which lead to the rise of Sauron’s dark power. The series’ huge cast includes Nazanin Boniadi, Peter Mullan, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Charles Edwards, Alex Tarrant, Owain Arthur, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith and many others. .
Two of the main characters in the series will be the elves Galadriel and Elrond, played by Morfydd Clark and Robert Aramayo. Due to the long life of the elves, they are the same characters that were seen in the original trilogy of The Lord of the Ringsplayed by Cate Blanchett and Hugo Weaving, although their personalities will turn out to be quite different from the ones they had later.
Elrond, in particular, will be a much more open and adventurous young man, who over time learns to be closed and mistrustful, and while Galadriel still retains her trademark intimidating power, she will be less graceful and more warlike, as described in a letter from 1973 by JRR Tolkien himself.
Now, Prime Video shares a new trailer for The Rings of Power which includes more images of Galadriel and Elrond. This shows various characters from the series reacting to the arrival of a mysterious meteorite. The video, which is about a minute long, includes fantastic clips of a flock of birds fluttering past a dazzling ship, more new characters, and the meteor crashing into the forest behind some young Ents.
In addition to showing images that fans of The Lord of the Rings have never seen before, this trailer appears to be a preview of the incident that will spark the entire series. Although more and more details about the characters have been revealed as the series premiere approaches, this is the most concrete teaser of the plot so far. Galadriel and Elrond don’t say anything in the new images, but this also clearly shows what an important role they’re going to play here.
