The Rings Of Power Season 2 Trailer Reveals Characters We Never Saw Coming

The Rings Of Power Season 2 Trailer Reveals Characters We Never Saw Coming

As a dedicated fan of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” and an avid gamer with years of experience in various Middle-earth role-playing games, I am beyond thrilled about Amazon Studios’ latest trailer for “The Rings of Power” Season 2. The anticipation has been palpable since the series’ first season left us wanting more.


“Amazon Studios has unveiled an enormous trailer for ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ Season 2 at San Diego Comic-Con, just before its August 29 release date. The almost four-minute video is packed with intriguing hints about various characters such as Annatar, Shelob, Bombadil, and Barrow-wights.”

Among all the new elements introduced in “The Rings of Power,” none have caused as much excitement as the arrival of Entwives. These female counterparts of the Ents are a significant part of Middle-earth’s folklore by the time of “The Lord of the Rings.” In J.R.R. Tolkien’s books, Treebeard mentions them and shares the sad tale of how the Ents lost contact with the Entwives thousands of years prior during the Second Age. However, in “The Rings of Power,” this heart-rending separation hasn’t occurred yet. Instead, it seems their tragic ending is reserved for later in the series, making their introduction at this point a brilliant move.

At around 2:30 minutes into the video, the initial Entwife scene unfolds as an unidentified Entwife speaks in her slow, thick-resinated voice, “Forgiveness requires much time.” A tree with a carved face and blossoming branches is displayed up close. Around 3:00 minutes, there’s a dimly lit nighttime shot of someone (possibly Arondir) gazing at a small Ent-like tree. Suddenly, the tree-like figure advances towards the tiny figure, attacking it. Regardless of who the victim might be among our heroes, the aggression fits perfectly with “The Lord of the Rings” narrative. For instance, when Treebeard first encounters Merry and Pippin, he takes them for Orcs and nearly crushes them on the spot.

A packed trailer with lots of exciting reveals

The Rings Of Power Season 2 Trailer Reveals Characters We Never Saw Coming

Amazon Studios released the Season 2 trailer, filled with intriguing sneak peeks. The arid land of Rhún comes to life with closer looks at its harsh terrain and a suspected cult temple. Servants resembling Mystics from last season are present, but this time, they seem to be following a leader (perhaps another Wizard? Could it be Saruman or even a Blue Wizard?). The powerful Tom Bombadil (Rory Kinnear) makes his first appearance alongside Daniel Weyman’s character, The Stranger. Battles unfold throughout the trailer, and we catch a glimpse of an Elven warrior, reminiscent of Boromir, who is seen from behind, struggling with multiple barbed arrows piercing their body.

In the thrilling world of Middle-earth’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” I, an avid fan, am excitedly looking forward to the upcoming Season 2. This installment is promised to be a captivating exploration of villainy, and the trailer certainly doesn’t disappoint.

In the end, there are numerous rings present in the story. The title’s jewelry, such as Nenya worn by Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), and Durin III’s (Peter Mullan) persistent desire for a ring, are just a few examples. Sauron also covets the Nine Rings, eventually intending to give them to Mortal Men. The build-up suggests that a more significant narrative will unfold when Season 2 premieres on August 29.
