Rings of Power adds three new cast members for season 3 — also, cameras are rolling Can't Post

From Deadline: "Andrew Richardson (Ponies) has been cast as a series regular and Zubin Varla (Andor) and Adam Young (Masters of the Air) as recurring in the upcoming third season of Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, which recently began filming at the Amazon MGM Studios series’ new U.K. production home, Shepperton Studios."

Given Richardson’s resemblance to Maxim Baldry and his status as a series regular, my guess is he’ll be playing Anárion.

As for the others: Varla could easily portray a character like Khamul or another future Nazgul. I could see Young as either an Elf or an Orc. Since both are in recurring roles, I expect them to be playing original characters. (Sure, Khamul is technically canon—mentioned in Unfinished Tales—but he has no real backstory or characterization to speak of.)

Now now Bill, you swore this was a battle between warriors, not a bunch of miss nancies, so warriors is what I brought

Redundant [In reply to] Can't Post

Do we really need to scoop an existing topic of the same name with this trivial addition?

Redundant how? [In reply to] Can't Post

And how is the addition and the official confirmation of a regular cast member "trivial"? The former post is about a leaked rumor, this is the real deal — two different things. Also, this is the long-awaited confirmation that S3 is filming.

And if you're going to be snarky, steer clear of this type of posts.

I agree with you DeadRabbits [In reply to] Can't Post

I'm tired of seeing snarky comments every time news is shared about Rings of Power. I can understand if you don't like the show, but you were just sharing some official news.

I enjoy seeing the addition of new cast members. It often makes you wonder if they will be main or not as main, much like it when we had Mirdania and Valandil.

OK [In reply to] Can't Post

Well, if you're okay with a new discussion duplicating your own original topic, I can't argue with that. Thanks for the grace.

How is my post considered a duplicate of OldertDaughter’s when it announces a different set of actors? [In reply to] Can't Post

When separate cast announcements are made, isn’t it more appropriate to create a new post rather than reply to an unrelated thread?

Not to harp on this, but the title of the previous thread was general enough to include the latest news as well. That said, thank you very much for the update.

I personally agree with you [In reply to] Can't Post

Especially sometimes when old threads tend to die and be forgotten about. I see no issue with this new thread and don't think you are copying me at all.

I'm sure we will have more new actors appear on this season, so I am sure this will happen many times.
