EXCLUSIVE: How Will Bronwyn's Exit Impact Ismael Cordova's Character In The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power S2? Actor Reveals

As a dedicated fan and avid follower of the world of television, I must say that the departure of actors from beloved shows can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, it opens up new opportunities for fresh talent to step into the limelight, but on the other, it leaves us fans grappling with unanswered questions and a sense of nostalgia for what once was.


As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but feel the tension when a beloved actor decides to leave a series. In such situations, the showrunners are faced with a tough decision: they could either gracefully retire the character from the storyline or take the risk of recasting the role. It’s an intricate dance between maintaining continuity and keeping the audience engaged.

When Nazanin Boniadi, who portrayed Bronwyn in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Amazon Prime, decided not to return for Season 2, the producers opted to write her character out of the upcoming episodes, scheduled to premiere on Thursday, August 29.

It cannot, however, be denied that this decision will affect other characters in the show, especially Arondir (played by Ismael Cruz Córdova), who was romantically involved with the now-canceled figure. Ahead of the release of the show, TopMob sat down with the actor to discuss this development, and here’s what he had to say.

Cruz Cordova explained that Bronwyn’s departure will influence Arondir’s character development because any event that occurs within the small community involving Theo, Bronwyn, and Arondir affects each person in some way.

In an effort to keep spoilers at bay, the actor hinted that Bronwyn’s departure will undoubtedly propel the characters’ narratives in Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power into a dramatically new and tumultuous direction.

At first, it seemed like Boniadi’s absence from the show during its second season might be linked to her commitment towards advocacy work. However, she clarified on Instagram that her departure was actually unrelated to these speculations. She conveyed her affection for her character, who similarly aspired for a more equitable world, and hinted at upcoming projects she’s excited to reveal to her fans shortly.

Just so you know, The Rings of Power isn’t her debut big venture; she had already been a part of other significant projects like General Hospital, Counterpart, Hotel Mumbai, Bombshell, and several others before that.

Revisiting Bronwyn’s departure from The Rings of Power, her leaving creates a gap in a classic Tolkien theme: the relationship between elves and humans. As Arondir, her romantic interest, remains in the series, the writers will have to handle the absence of the woman who meant so much to him in the earlier season, as he had vowed never to leave her side.

Beginning this coming Thursday, August 29, you’ll find the initial three installments of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Amazon Prime Video. The following five episodes of this eight-episode series will debut on the streaming service each subsequent Thursday.
