I was kind of wondering if Beldor might be a hobbit or a dwarf of something, since neither actor seems to be the Aragorn type.
What an info dump!
A lot of POC, which I like, but you just know the racists are gonna come out of the woodwork just like they did for the Wheel of Time cast announcements, probably even moreso. A lot of different body types and backgrounds, too, very eclectic.
No sign of the rumored Maxim Baldry.
It was mentioned that Morfydd Clark might be Galadriel. I am watching the new Dracula series on Netflix and she was quite good in the first episode as Mina.
I dunno if I have seen anything else by any of these actors other than the two GoT-ers and Markella's bit part in Hanging Rock.
Do we know where in the timeline of Middle Earth this show is taking place?
There's almost infinite story potential in the Silmarillion
I think it was Mairon.
It’s so great to see a more diverse cast. We deserve a more diverse cast
I think this is a good thing for Middle Earth. Chris Tolkien was a wonderful and indispensable curator of Tolkien's written material, but Chris's time was long past, and he was holding the property back in other mediums.
