One of the main characters in the Lord of the Rings series was to be played by the actor who finally gave him his features in The Rings of Power! Produced by Amazon Prime Video, the series takes place several millennia before the adventures of The Fellowship of the Ring, which depicts the rise of Sauron and the formation of a final alliance between men and elves to oppose the armies of the Necromancer.
the half-elf Elrond, camped in Hugo Weaving’s Peter Jackson trilogies, appears in the series in an updated version (although elves are immortal); And it is the British actor Robert Aramaio (the young Ned Stark of Game of Thrones) who portrays him in this case. But the latter was not the first choice of production!
Because it’s Will Poulter who was supposed to play Elrond in the Lord of the Rings series! A role that he eventually had to leave for scheduling reasons, the coronavirus outbreak in the spring of 2020 led to the postponement of filming, which was no longer adaptable to his busy schedule. In particular, remember that Will Poulter will soon be joining the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy 3 as Adam Warlock!
Therefore, only two weeks before filming, Robert Aramaio was called by the producer to join the cast of the series as Elrond (to cover the songs, the role was announced at the time as Beldor. A character created from scratch for the series).
