Prime Video Unveils First Look At Ciaran Hinds’ Dark Wizard Character In ‘Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power’
deadline.comHere’s your first look at Ciarán Hinds as Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2 playing new character Dark Wizard.
The character is billed as “A dark and powerful wizard, whose origins and intentions are shrouded in secrecy, and who has a legion of magic-wielding acolytes who obey his every command — among them the three travelers who sought out the Stranger at the end of Season 1… on the Dark Wizard’s orders.” His casting was revealed earlier this year, as Rory Kinnear and Tanya Moodie also joined the cast.
At the time, no character descriptions were forthcoming. Oscar- and BAFTA-nominated for his role in Belfast, Hinds has also starred in films including Munich, There Will Be Blood, In Bruges and Justice League as well as TV series including Game of Thrones and Rome.
Developed by J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, The Lord of the Rings series is set in the Second Age of Middle-earth — thousands of years before the events of the Lord of the Rings films and the novels by JRR Tolkien.
