“The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” said that he’s been in the dark about his character’s identity — along with the audience. “No, absolutely not,” Weyman, 47, told The Post, about whether he was informed when he landed the role.
Season 2 of “The Rings of Power” premieres Thursday, Aug. 29. Set in thousands of years before the events of Peter Jackson’s “Lord of The Rings” movie trilogy, “The Rings of Power” follows the Elves Galadriel (Cate Blanchett in the films, Morfydd Clark in the show), Elrond (Hugo Weaving in the films, Robert Aramayo here), and other characters, including the Dwarf Durin (Owain Arthur), the Harfoot – a type of Hobbit – Elanor “Nori” Brandyfoot (Markella Kavenagh), and the Stranger (Weyman).
In Season 1, the Stranger was a mysterious man who fell out of the sky. He had no memory about his own life or identity, he barely talked, and he ended up traveling with Nori and her friend, Poppy (Megan Richards).
It was later revealed that he’s an Istar/Istari, or a wizard. When the first season aired, fans speculated that the Stranger could be a number of iconic “Lord of the Rings” characters such as Sauron, Sarumon, Gandalf, or a Blue Wizard (characters from Tolkien’s writings).
