As a seasoned movie-goer who has witnessed the rise and fall of countless stars, I must admit that Markella Kavenagh is one to keep an eye on. With her breakthrough role in “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” this young Australian actress has already proven herself as a versatile performer capable of tackling complex characters in both fantasy and reality.
In full flow now on Amazon Prime Video is Season 2 of Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, bringing several well-known characters back to life on our screens once more.
In the latest installment, I find myself among familiar faces, including Markella Kavenagh portraying Elanor Brandyfoot, a daring Harfoot – one of those who transform into Hobbits. Alongside my dearest friend Poppy Proudfellow, played by Megan Richards, and a mysterious figure known as The Stranger (Daniel Weyman), I venture on a perilous quest at the close of season 1 in pursuit of the lands of Rhûn.
Curious if you recognize the actress from elsewhere? Here’s a rundown on Markella Kavenagh, the talented star of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Who is Nori Brandyfoot actor Markella Kavenagh?
Before landing the role in “The Rings of Power,” I was already a seasoned actress with a few notches under my belt.
However, the Prime Video series is expected to send the star soaring to new heights.
What else has Markella Kavenagh been in?
The actress made her professional debut in 2018 as Cindi in the Romper Stomper TV series.
In the same year, she took on the roles of Myrtle in Picnic at Hanging Rock and Chloe in The Cray. Later in 2019, she made a single appearance on My Life in Murder, playing Cassie Malone in an episode.
Nonetheless, her significant role emerged in the captivating True History of the Kelly Gang, where she played Jane Cotter, in the year 2019.
She then went on to star in The Gloaming, My First Summer and Furlough in 2020.
How old is Markella Kavenagh?
Kavenagh is 24 years old at the time of writing.
What has Markella Kavenagh said about joining Rings of Power?
Previously discussing contrasts between The Rings of Power and her past roles with Teen Vogue, Kavenagh expressed that the new Lord of the Rings series “feels quite distinct” and required a unique preparation approach compared to her previous experiences.
Speaking about her character, Kavenagh said to Collider: “I believe she has an inherent eagerness, without a doubt. I also wanted to emphasize that this curiosity isn’t just driven by self-interest in the mystery, but rather she acknowledges the weight of the responsibility she carries.”
“From an early age, she’s been responsible for her family, siblings, and community, maturing faster than usual. This led me to believe that her desire to challenge traditional Harfoot ways stems from a need to enhance their quality of life. This curiosity about the unknown also originates from this motivation.”
She added: “She leads with the idea that a fear of risk can be greater than the risk itself. And she’s just constantly pushing that, but sometimes it gets people into a bit of danger but it’s with the best of intentions.”
As a passionate movie-goer, I’d say: In the second season, I follow Nori, Poppy, and the enigmatic stranger on their perilous quest to discover the lands of Rhûn. Yet, the zealous acolytes of the Dark Wizard (Ciaran Hinds) are hell-bent on eliminating the Harfoots and apprehending the Stranger. This puts all three of them in mortal danger.
Speaking to ComicBook before the season 2 premiere, Nori expressed that she anticipates a difficult journey for the Harfoots in the upcoming season, stating “I believe that Nori is fully aware that the path she’s about to tread at the end of Season 1 will be arduous and unpredictable. She must approach it with no preconceived notions. The intriguing aspect of accompanying The Stranger is that she’ll assist him, but in doing so, she’ll discover her true purpose. This territory is entirely new to her; she’s never been this exposed or separated from her family before.”
She continued: “So it’s almost like someone when you first leave home: it is that exciting yet really overwhelming, nerve-wracking feeling for her and you just see encounters some really fun other characters, and that furthers her along.”
