TheRingsofPower's IsmaelC_C, Markella Kavenagh, and OwainArthur discuss elf wigs, mithril, a tease of Season 2, and more.
From showrunners JD Payne & Patrick McKay, the Prime Video series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is set in the Second Age of Middle-earth’s history, thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and at a time when the Dark Lord Sauron, believed by all to have been defeated, is quietly planning his comeback.
Collider: Ismael, many of the elves that we've seen in the world of Tolkien have these long locks. Was there ever a version of Arondir that had long hair? Did you ever test with a wig or extensions or was his hair always short? MARKELLA KAVENAGH: That's a really interesting question. With Daniel Weyman, who plays The Stranger, a lot of it was actually just leaning into how we felt during the scenes, how our characters felt during the scenes, and how they interacted rather than focusing on the size difference or the height difference, per se.
Ismael, I don't know if you've ever heard the saying, "He's not a stepdad, but he is the dad who stepped up"?To keep talking about these evolving dynamics in Season 1, one of the relationships that really evolves is Theo and Arondir.
KAVENAGH: It's definitely been building up from the beginning. I think she just wasn't quite sure how that feeling would manifest. It was really important for me to ground her curiosity and how interested she was in the unknown in something other than just a selfish interest in that. I think it was more to see how she could help improve their quality of life and help them find a home.
I think he was willing to sacrifice everything for Elrond in that moment, and he feels very passionate about him. Like he says in that scene with his father, "Elrond is like a brother to me, like he'd been fired up in my own mother's womb." So it's a really strong connection and therefore the loss of Elrond would mean the end of the world for him. But unfortunately, he is disowned by his father, he didn't get the reaction that he wanted.
