Prime Video Brings ‘Rings of Power’ and First Teaser for Season 3 to SDCC
The Season 3 teaser trailer for Prime Video’s Rings of Power has been released. The trailer was first unveiled during the show’s panel at San Diego Comic Con earlier today.
Moderated by High King Gil-galad himself, series star Benjamin Walker, showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay were joined cast members Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Owain Arthur, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Charlie Vickers, Daniel Weyman, and newcomer Jamie Campbell Bower, for the panel.
During the panel, it was announced that three more characters would be joining newcomer Bower this season. “Eddie Marsan portraying King Durin IV’s older brother, “Thrain”. Andrew Richardson playing Elendil’s younger son and Isildur’s brother, “Anarion”, and Adam Young as “Marnûkh,” a mysterious Orc who may not be what he seems.
Attendees also got the chance to see a featurette showing highlights of several creatures that will be seen this season, including Fell-beasts, the war elephants known as Mûmakil, Orcs, and the return of the fiery Balrog, who will have a voice! That’s right, “The Balrog Speaks! And it’s Simon Pegg!”
“In Season Three, Middle-earth is at war. Five years have passed since the fall of Eregion. Sauron’s armies have marched across the whole of the world, conquering all in their path. Only a few isolated pockets stand between the Dark Lord and total victory – Khazad-dûm, where the Dwarves are now sealed deep within their mountain halls, and the elven realms of Lindon and Rivendell, which are protected by their Three Rings. But deep in the land of Mordor, in his newly completed tower of Barad-dûr, the Dark Lord toils day and night, obsessed with harnessing a power that will bring the last of his enemies to their knees: One Ring to rule them all… Now, all the free peoples of Middle-earth – Dwarves, Elves, Men, and Wizards alike – must find a way to come together, in a race against time to prevent Sauron from achieving his goal of utter domination of all life…”
