Watch the New Trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power trailer is here — in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. On Thursday evening, Amazon Prime Video unveiled the latest teaser trailer for its The Lord of the Rings prequel series The Rings of Power to give fans an idea of what is in store for them. The nearly two-and-a-half-minute The Rings of Power trailer begins with a voiceover about a “time when the Earth was so young”, setting the stage for what is to follow. We are soon introduced to some of the realms that will be explored this time around.

The trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power then gives us our first look at the popular characters Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), Elrond (Robert Aramayo), High King Gil-galad (Benjamin Walker), the Harfoots Marigold Brandyfoot (Sara Zwangobani). Elanor ‘Nori' Brandyfoot (Markella Kavenagh), Poppy Proudfellow (Megan Richards) and Sadoc Burrows (Sir Lenny Henry), The Stranger (Daniel Weyman), the Dwarves King Durin III (Peter Mullan), Prince Durin IV (Owain Arthur), Halbrand (Charlie Vickers), and Arondir (Ismael Cruz Córdova) too appear in The Rings of Power trailer.

In a particularly telling sequence, we hear the ominous line “past is dead”. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power trailer — unsurprisingly — proves to be quite a visually-appealing affair.
