‘Lord of the Rings’ trailer reveals mystery character — is it Gandalf?

The story in “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” is set around a thousand years before Frodo (Elijah Wood) and his Fellowship made their journey in the movies.
The show’s plot will feature the forging of the rings of power, the rise of the villain Sauron and the rise and fall of the kingdom of Númenor.
The cast is a mix of new characters — such as the elf Arondir, played by Ismael Cruz Córdova, and a man named Halbrand, played by Charlie Vickers — as well as a few familiar ones, such as younger versions of the elves Galadriel (Cate Blanchett in the movies; Morfydd Clark in the show) and Elrond (Hugo Weaving in the movies; Robert Aramayo in the show).
