Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power 2: Robert Aramayo discusses Elrond’s physical and emotional transformation: "He looks different"

Prime Video’s globally renowned series, The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power is diving into even darker and bloodier depths of Middle-earth in Season 2. As Sauron tightens his grip through lies and manipulation to deceive humans, elves, orcs, dwarfs and harfoots, the Dark Lord grows stronger, edging closer to fulfilling his sinister plan of domination. With the shadow looming larger as this season nears its finale episode, Elrond, the half-elven diplomat brought to life by Robert Aramayo, is undergoing a major transformation, ready to confront the rising evil and its formidable army on the battlefield.

Sharing insights about undergoing intense training to play Elrond and discussing the character’s evolution in the second installment, Robert revealed, “It’s a much more desperate season. There is a battle scene in this season and shooting it was really, really tough. I have spent months training in the stunt gym in preparation to deliver Elrond’s debut as a warrior. There were things I didn’t think I would be able to do. It was really nice to get into these stunts, but also having Elrond change throughout the season: physically, emotionally, mentally. He looks different by the end of the season. He looks older.”

In The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2, Sauron returns without allies or an army after being defeated by Galadriel. The rising Dark Lord will now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, allowing him to bind the people of Middle-earth to his sinister will. The series boasts an outstanding cast, starring Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Cordova, and Charlie Vickers in the lead roles.

This adventurous action-drama premiered worldwide on August 29 in multiple languages, including English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, among others, with the finale episode premiering on October 3.
