Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Unveils Intense New Trailer at Comic-Con | Watch Trailer
Amazon Prime Video’s massive fantasy TV series based on the works of author J.R.R. Tolkien, ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ made its biggest splash yet at the San Diego Comic-Con with a brand new trailer that revealed the most complete picture yet for what is in store on the show.
The Comic-Con panel was moderated by “Lord of the Rings” super-fan Stephen Colbert and it definitely lived up to expectations.
“Reading [J.R.R.] Tolkien is swimming in deep water,” the late night host said to the elated crowd.
Amazon spared no expense on the panel, which included wrap-around screens unveiled with a booming introduction that literally shook the walls of Hall H and no less than 25 participants who cycled through the stage in groups — and then all joined at the end for a brief Q&A with the audience.
The Plot of Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
Just over a week ago, Amazon released a new teaser for “The Rings of Power” that was light on story and heavy on showcasing the many realms of Middle-earth in the show.
The new trailer, by contrast, lays down the central spine of the story: We first see Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) standing before a massive pile of empty helmets, signifying the losses incurred in the last great war to eradicate evil from the world.
Though his name isn’t spoken in the trailer, Tolkien fans know that evil to be Morgoth — the first Dark Lord of Middle-earth and the mentor of the villain who dominates Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings”: Sauron.
Watch the trailer below.
