“Eater Of Dragon Bones”: Rings Of Power’s New Hill Troll Revealed In Formidable Season 2 Image
Summary
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Powerstar Morfydd Clark teases Galadriel’s new mission in season 2. Based on source material by J.R.R. Tolkien, the hit Prime Video fantasy series is created by Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne and premiered in 2022. Galadriel essentially serves as the show’s main character, and the stormy Elf heroine suffered a major blow inThe Rings of Powerseason 1 finaleafter it was revealed that her companion, Halbrand (Charlie Vickers), had actually been Sauron all along.
In a recent interview withEmpire Magazine, Clark teases that this Sauron revelation will have a big impact on Galadriel inThe Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Powerseason 2. According to the star,her Elf character will be on a mission for redemption, something further complicated by the forging of her Ring of Power, Nenya. Check out a new image of Galadriel and Clark’s comment below:
“She really messed up so badly. There’s a desperation to redeem herself, and through redeeming herself protect Middle-earth, which is in more danger than it ever has been. Now she’s seen the whites of the eyes of the person who’s bringing it all down, she’s all revved up.
“Even Sauron doesn’t know exactly what [The Rings of Power will] do. But it’s an extra-weird connection between Galadriel and the baddest man in Middle-earth.”
How Galadriel Will Be Different In The Rings Of Power Season 2
What Else Morfydd Clark Has Said About Her Character
While thereviews forThe Rings of Powerseason 1were mostly positive from critics, there were some complaints aimed at Galadriel. The character, it was said, was perhaps overly cold and dark as she quested after Sauron due to his apparent involvement in the death of her brother. The character, however, could be different heading intoThe Rings of Powerseason 2.
Why Galadriel Didn’t Tell Elrond Halbrand’s Identity In Rings Of Power
The Rings of Power season 1 saw Galadriel learn that Halbrand had really been Sauron all along– but she made the odd choice not to tell anyone.
Clark previously revealed toTheWrapthat, after Galadriel’s “mental crisis” in season 1, season 2 will see the character “thinking about the world… and finding joy in things a bit more.” Though things will seemingly be getting very dark for Middle-earth, it seems like Galadriel will be approaching her mission for redemption inThe Rings of Powerseason 2with a little less severity. Instead of being laser-focused only on her personal quest,she will see her actions as part of the broader happenings across Middle-earth.
Sauron, it seems, will be positioned as Galadriel’s direct rival, and this will help giveThe Rings of Powera more clear protagonist and antagonist dynamic in season 2. Clearly, however, the forging of Nenya and Galadriel’s history with Sauron will add some interesting layers to this conflict. It remains to be seen how Galadriel will evolve in season 2, but the character will evidently feature a different mindset as the adventure continues.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Powerseason 2 premieres on Prime Video on July 07, 2025.
