As a seasoned gamer and long-time fan of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth, I can hardly contain my excitement for “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” Season 2. Having binge-watched the first season multiple times and immersing myself in the rich lore of Middle-earth, I eagerly await Charlie Vickers’ transformation into the cunning Annatar, Sauron’s Elven persona.
Season 1 of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” concluded with a major revelation: one of our trusted characters, who was once known as the “King of the Southlands” named Halbrand, was actually disguised as the dark lord Sauron. Actor Charlie Vickers excelled in his dual roles and will continue to do so in Season 2, as Sauron assumes a new identity, “Annatar, the Lord of Gifts,” an Elven figure that is said to have been sent by the Valar (the divine beings of Middle-earth).
In a conversation with ComicBook, Charlie Vickers revealed the adjustments he’s making to portray Sauron as Annatar in The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power Season 2.
According to Vickers, while the internal nature of characters like Halbrand and Annatar may be similar, their external behaviors are strikingly different. They both pursue a common goal, but it seems that Halbrand made a significant breakthrough at the end of the first season, which in turn influenced his transformation into Annatar. However, everything about Annatar is primarily driven by Celebrimbor.
According to J.R.R. Tolkien’s tales of Middle-earth, Sauron disguised himself as Annatar to win over Celebrimbor, an Elven master blacksmith living in Eregion. Guided by Annatar, Celebrimbor and the Elves forged the initial three Rings of Power (Vilya, Narya, and Nenya) and set into motion a plan to subdue all of Middle-earth using the One Ring.
Charlie Vickers went on to describe that, to conceal his true identity as Sauron, Annatar had to completely alter his behavior and demeanor.
“I found it incredibly gratifying and enjoyable as an entertainer to explore and adopt new methods of movement and speech. This transformation was a gradual, evolving process that allowed us to make adjustments along the way, and the results were truly worthwhile.”
The Rings of Power Season 2 Explained
In Season Two of The Rings of Power, Sauron reappears, banished by Galadriel with no army or allies. As the growing Dark Lord, he must now employ his own wit to regain power and supervise the construction of the Rings of Power, which will enable him to enslave all Middle-earth’s inhabitants to his malevolent intentions. Expanding on Season One’s grandeur and aspirations, this new season submerges even its most cherished and defenseless characters in a rising wave of darkness, compelling each to locate their role in a world teetering on the edge of catastrophe. Elves, dwarves, orcs, humans, wizards, and Harfoots… as friendships weaken and realms start to crumble, the forces of good will strive tirelessly to preserve what means most to them – each other.
For The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’s second season, the lineup features Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Maxim Baldry, Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Charles Edwards, Trystan Gravelle, Lenny Henry (Sir), Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Lloyd Owen, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, Charlie Vickers, Leon Wadham, Benjamin Walker, Daniel Weyman, and Sara Zwangobani. However, Nazanin Boniadi, who played the healer Bronwyn in season 1, will not be reprising her role as she has chosen to step away from acting.
