Prime Video (via SFF Gazette) has shared a pair of new promo stills for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, giving Tolkien fans a first look at two characters who did not feature in the recent teaser trailer: Bronwyn (Nazanin Boniadi) and Theo (Tyroe Muhafidin).
Though these Middle Earth denizens were actually teased in the initial batch of posters, they were only shown from the chest down like everyone else. They both appear to be newly created characters for this show, and descriptions have not been released.
Based on these images, though, we'd guess that Theo is a Harfoot (a proto-Hobbit, basically), and while Bronwyn certainly has an Elven look about her, the ears would suggest that she's human!
Check out the stills below, and keep an eye out for a new trailer very soon.
Amazon Studios’ forthcoming series brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.
Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is set to premiere on Friday, September 2.
