The Rings of Power Interview: Cast and Creatives on Bringing Second Age Middle-Earth to Life

If you missed out on Collider’s screening for Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and cast and crew Q&A, or even if you want to relive the magic of seeing it all up on the big screen, read on! From giving life to the Second Age of Middle-earth to the unique challenges faced by the actors of embodying J.R.R. Tolkien’s different fantastical races, Editor-in-Chief Steve Weintraub spoke with Morfydd Clark (Galadriel), Ismael Cruz Córdova (Arondir), Owain Arthur (Prince Durin IV), Sophia Nomvete (Princess Disa), costume designer, Kate Hawley, and the director of Episodes 1 and 2, J.A. Bayona.

The castmembers discuss what it was like filming such an iconic series, becoming a part of a culture phenomenon, and finding their characters through the vision of the creators behind this never-before-seen Second Age. They share anecdotes from set, like what it’s like having a Balrog in the basement, and the deeper impact of providing representation across Middle-earth, inspired by the texts and art that Tolkien created and evoked. Whether you’re a fan of the books, Peter Jackson’s films, all of the above, or are new to the world of Tolkien, the heart and passion for the material by both cast and creatives is awe-inspiring. To learn about all of this and so much more, you can watch in the video below, or read along in the full transcript while we wait for Season 2!
