The villains of Amazon’s upcoming Lord of the Rings prequel series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, remain shrouded in mystery. Even the latest trailer for The Rings of Power focuses more on the series’ heroes than it does its villains, spotlighting noble characters like Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), Elrond (Robert Aramayo), and Gil-galad (Benjamin Walker). This approach, notably, lines up with what the Rings of Power showrunners have said fans should expect from the show’s hero-centric first season. The second trailer released Thursday, however, is full of ominous warnings and somber images hinting at the nefarious forces at work.
