Collider spoke with Gaia Wise and Laurence Ubong Williams about their characters in the new animated film, 'The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim'.
Summary: Long before Éowyn donned armor and rode into battle alongside the Rohirrim, shieldmaidens fought for Rohan. The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim gives us a look at those stories when it centers the tale around the young Héra ( Gaia Wise ), the willful and rebellious daughter of King Helm Hammerhand (Brian Cox).
In War of the Rohirrim, it's up to Héra to lead her people when they are attacked by the Dunlendings and forced to flee from the capital of Edoras to the fortress known as the Hornburg. If that name sounds vaguely familiar to you, you might know it by another name: Helm's Deep. Trapped in a siege and struggling to protect the people while also fighting off invading forces, Héra comes into her own during the conflict and saves her people. However, the history books don't remember her name and it is her cousin, Fréaláf (Laurence Ubong Williams), who ends up on the pages while she goes unnamed. Collider spoke with Gaia Wise and Laurence Ubong Williams about their characters, who they are, and how they fit into Middle-earth. Wise and Williams are both first-time voice actors, so we also discussed the challenges of only acting with your voice and working alone rather than with other actors. Finally, we discussed the relationship that Héra has with the villain Wulf (Luke Pasqualino) and whether there is any romantic potential in that pairing.
