SPOILERS are ahead for Lord of the Rings : The Rings Of Power Season 1, now streaming with an Amazon Prime subscription . With the premiere of the second season of Rings Of Power just weeks away, it’s time to prepare for the wrath of Charlie Vickers’ Sauron. Long before fans were theorizing who Sauron could be throughout Season 1 ’s rollout, apparently the cast of the Amazon series were of the same mindset on the set.
When CinemaBlend spoke to the Queen of Númenor, Tar-Míriel – a.k.a Cynthia Addai-Robinson – the actress shared her thoughts on last season’s massive reveal.
Addai-Robinson worked closely with Rings of Power ’s Charlie Vickers throughout Season 1, considering that his character and Galadriel landed on her kingdom of Númenor, and ended up going into battle with her and the civilization’s troops to save the Southlands. When I had the chance to speak with Cynthia Addai-Robinson on the phone, she shared how the revelation that Halbrand is Sauron was concealed on set. In her words: The last script for the Season 1 finale was redacted.
We did not get all of the scenes and it was a closed set when they filmed his reveal. So only the inner inner circle would've known how those things played out. But for the rest of us, we all suspected, right? But it was pretty cool when it aired and seeing people's reactions.
And now, I'm happy for Charlie for the fact that he can now just own it and relax and just be the sexy Sauron he was destined to be. I don’.
