‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ Season 2 introduces the main character and it’s not Gandalf
Los Angeles, California: ‘The Rings of Power’ delves deeper into the Second Age of Middle-earth, weaving connections into the rich tapestry of JRR Tolkien’s legend and Peter Jackson’s iconic film adaptation.

The presence of well-known characters like Galadriel and Sauron bridge the age gap, ensuring that the series stays connected to the familiar lore of Middle-earth.
In an alarming development for fans, the latest 20-second teaser has set the internet abuzz with speculation.

Meanwhile, another user suggested how despite initial doubts about his casting, Ciaran Hinds seemed like a perfect fit in Season 2 of The Rings of Power: “When the news came out that Ciaran was going to be in Season 2 I could only think Ciaran Hinds would do a great job playing him but when he wasn’t among the new cast members that were announced for season 2 I thought it wouldn’t be possible for him to play Sirdan .”
This was followed by another user saying: “I think he’s too old. Yes, Cirdan is supposed to be old as an elf, but Ciaran Hinds is 70. And looking forward Cirdan will be on the show for a while (maybe even in future shows ) ) and this production will still take several years to complete.”
On the other hand one says: “Furthermore, Sirdan was old and bearded at the end of the third age. It is quite possible that he was still in the second cycle of his life in the second age and even much of the third age and did not yet appear old or bearded.”
Overall his casting as the Wizard has been awaited by many fans, such as: “Ciaran Hinds is a brilliant actor. Really looking forward to it, whoever he plays.”
