The world of The Lord of the Rings is very diverse and seems to be in a continuous struggle between different races., even though is not always like that. “In this fantasy we see how all the races coexist and intertwine to coexist in one world, that’s a great message that we can see from this story,” said Ben Walker, who plays the powerful elf Gil Galad.
In the previous stories that we know of this saga, the dwarfs are identified as a grumpy and rude race, with a very clear memory and recollections, but not everything is like that. Owain Arthur plays Prince Durin IV“the dwarfs are very familiar, they also work taking great care of their home and their loved ones, looking for a prosperous life. You will see how my relationship with my wife is with the love we live,” he jokes.
Sophia Nomvete It’s princess Disawife of Durin IV and stands out as the first female character of this race, in addition to being of African descent.
“In the last version we were not mentioned, but it is important to show that in reality and fantasy we exist and have always been here,” Nomvete pointed out. “It is very important that these new audiences see these stories normally. For me it is an honor to be able to embrace this story and what we are doing with this production is truly exciting,” said the British-born actress.

Sophia makes a singing interpretation, since the female characters of the world of the dwarves have the task of “talking with the earth”, so that detail gives a new vision to what these characters represent.
“It’s a very powerful metaphor, because unlike the men, we sing and talk to the mountain to get the best out of it and to get what our race needs,” added Nomvete. “You can hear me doing my best,” the actress joked.
It is truly exciting to hear Sophia sing
“It’s really exciting to hear Sophia sing, it really made the hairs on my arms stand up to see what this woman can do with her voice, when she did it everyone on set would freeze and listen to her, she’s fantastic”, Arthur complemented, about the interpretation of his partner and pointing out the importance of the soundtrack of the series.
Galadriel is a complex character, an elf who is on the warpath and with a personality that will not stop until she achieves what she wants. Morfydd Clark plays this female figure who will not be put down and will not accept defeat as an option.
“She fights and protects what she wants and those she loves, that represents her character to me, although it’s different when you’re a magical and immortal elf,” jokes Clark.
Charlie Vickers, personifies Halbrand a wandering human, although his character was created for this version, since he does not exist in the literary version. “He is a man who is carrying his past on his shoulders and living with it, so we see him as a little conflicted,” Vickers said.
She could seem like she’s too smug and somewhat heroic at the same time.
Although the role of heroine of Galadriel can be overwhelming, it has its reason for being. “She could seem like she’s too smug and somewhat heroic, although being a little overconfident is a very elven thing,” Charlie jokes about her partner’s character.
Galadriel and Halbrand present some tension. “It has to do with the way they know each other and this is because she sees herself vulnerable to a human, which an elf would not allow, and from there we started badly. This has a context of her policies in that world,” says Morfydd .

Will we see a romance between an elf and a human again? “The question is how many elf-human romances there are or will be,” Charlie chimes in. “We cannot guarantee that Galadriel and Halbrand have it, but these types of relationships are not as rare as the history of cinema made us see,” added Morfydd.
