Following an underwhelming first season, Amazon Prime’s Rings of Power has returned to Middle-earth’s Second Age, with hopes to salvage its thus far billion-dollar debacle. Set as a prequel to J.R.R.
The War of the Rohirrim centers on the fate of the House of Helm Hammerhand, the mighty King of Rohan, a character from the appendix of JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King .
Maxim Baldry plays Isildur, shaped by JRR Tolkien as a tragic hero. He confides in Tanzim Pardiwalla about how Tolkien and LOTR shaped his cinematic journey.
