Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power – More Than 20 Character Posters Revealed

Prime Video has revealed more than 20 posters featuring characters from the show – but only showing the hands, clothing and equipment of each one.

The upcoming Prime Video adaptation will explore Middle-earth’s Second Age as a series, showing us the forging of the titular rings, and Sauron’s rise to power.

Speaking of Sauron, that’s almost certainly a Dark Lord’s gauntlet in our slideshow of all the character posters below. It’s might be a question of which Dark Lord, though – we could potentially be looking at Sauron’s original master, Morgoth:

For a show this big, and this close (it premieres in September), we’ve learned precious little about it so far. We only discovered the title last month (which included a snazzy practical title sequence), and gotten the merest hint of Morfydd Clark’s Galadriel speaking. Very few characters have been confirmed aside from Galadriel, either.

We do at least know a lot of the actors involved, including Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Maxim Baldry, Nazanin Boniadi, Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Charles Edwards, Trystan Gravelle, Sir Lenny Henry, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Lloyd Owen, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, Charlie Vickers, Leon Wadham, Benjamin Walker, Daniel Weyman, and Sara Zwangobani. If that felt like a lot of names, we have their faces in the gallery below:
