Sir Ian McKellen as Gandalf the Grey in The Lord of the Rings and Daniel Weyman as The Stranger in The Rings of Power
The Rings of Power still hasn't confirmed the identity of the Stranger, but after season 2's first three episodes, I'm even more convinced that he's Gandalf. Daniel Wayman's character makes a memorable entrance in The Rings of Power season 1, crashing to Middle-earth inside a meteor during the show's premiere. It seems obvious that Weyman is one of the Lord of the Rings' Istari, as he possesses magic and doesn't remember anything about himself.
The Stranger Is Acting Much More Like Gandalf In The Rings Of Power Season 2 His Dialogue & Personality Match That Of The Grey Wizard The Rings of Power season 1 makes it difficult to reconcile the idea of the Stranger being Gandalf, as Weyman's character is so different from the wizard we know and love. The Stranger can hardly speak when he first crash-lands on Middle-earth, and he doesn't know much — from how to interact with others to how to use his own powers.
The Rings Of Power Already Hinted The Stranger Is Gandalf Season 1 Draws Connections To The Lord Of The Rings Character Close There are numerous signs that the Stranger is Gandalf throughout The Rings of Power season 1, so it's no surprise he's starting to act more like the Lord of the Rings character. Even if his personality isn't in line with Gandalf's in the first outing, the Stranger bears striking similarities to Frodo's mentor.
The Rings of Power season 1's Sauron reveal also wasn't that shocking, so perhaps the writers really are following the same trajectory with the Stranger.
