Following the departure of original lead Will Poulter from the upcoming Lord of The Rings series, Amazon has found a replacement in the form of Robert Aramayo, who is best known for playing young Ned Stark in seasons 6 and 7 of HBO's Game of Thrones.
Aramayo will play the young hero of the tale, who is being referred to as Beldor (although there is speculation that he will turn out to be an established character). He joins previously announced cast members Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle and Morfydd Clark, who is believed to be playing a younger incarnation of Elf Queen Galadriel.
The Lord of the Rings is set to begin filming soon in New Zealand with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom director J.A. Bayona at the helm of the first two episodes.
We still don't know a whole lot about this take on Tolkien's classic, but it is expected to be a prequel of sorts to the original trilogy, set during The Second Age.
