Amazon's 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' transported us back to Middle-earth, but thousands of years before Frodo's journey. One of the most anticipated aspects was undoubtedly the cast, bringing Tolkien's diverse characters to life. Forget everything you knew about previous adaptations and prepare to meet a new generation of elves, dwarves, and humans, each with their own secrets and destinies.

While familiar names like Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) and Elrond (Robert Aramayo) appear, they are younger, more impulsive versions of the characters we know and love. The cast is populated by both seasoned veterans and exciting newcomers, including Ismael Cruz Córdova as Arondir, a Silvan Elf, and Sophia Nomvete as Disa, a dwarven princess. Their performances breathed fresh air into these iconic roles and offered new perspectives on the rich tapestry of Tolkien's world. The ensemble cast truly delivered a performance worthy of Middle-earth, making 'The Rings of Power' a compelling watch for both die-hard fans and newcomers alike.
