'I have no idea': The Rings of Power's Daniel Weyman doesn't know if The Stranger will face Sauron in Season 3, but he's open to it

Full spoilers for T follow immediatelythe rings of power last episode of the second season.

The Rings of Power‘s Daniel Weyman doesn’t know if The Stranger/Gandalf will face Sauron next season, but he’s certainly not ruling it out.

Talk to me first The Rings of Power In the final chapter of season two, Weyman – who is still processing the fact that he is actually playing Gandalf – admitted that he had “no idea” whether Middle-earth’s most famous wizard would face the Dark Lord. Still, the Prime Video star would be open to it, even though he admits that Gandalf wouldn’t even know if he would have crossed paths with Morgoth’s successor.

“I’m still not sure how well Gandalf knows what Sauron means,” Weyman admitted. “The only thing he can go on with is that sentence from Tom [Bombadil] fed him. They know that his task will be to defeat or defeat the Dark Wizard and Sauron. He understands it as a kind of “close your eyes” feeling of darkness that envelopes Middle-earth, but I don’t know if he knows anything about Sauron’s connections to Morgoth, Sauron’s history, his ability to shapeshift, or knows where Sauron physically is, but These are all things to look forward to.”

However, there are things Weyman and Sauron star Charlie Vickers already knows and/or has hinted about future seasons. As I mentioned, Weyman can finally tell the world that the stranger is Gandalf, even if we’ve all suspected that since then The Rings of Power Season 1 finale and The Rings of Power Season 2, Episode 4. Meanwhile, Vickers has three big wishes for Sauron’s Season 3 arc, one of which includes the “next piece of the puzzle” for the Dark Lord in forging the One Ring.

Speaking of rings, now that the Stranger’s true identity has been revealed, it may only be a matter of time before he receives his own ring of power. Actually in the supplement by JRR Tolkien Lord of the rings The materials reveal that Círdan the Shipwright passes his Ring Narya to Gandalf at the beginning of the Third Age of Middle-earth.

The Lord of the RingsThe prequel series is only expected to cover events during the Second Age, so it’s highly unlikely that Gandalf will come into possession of Narya before one of Prime Video’s best shows ends. However, showrunners JD Payne and Patrick McKay played quickly with some of Tolkien’s texts in their TV adaptation, so it’s not out of the question for Weyman’s Istar to acquire one of the 17 titular rings, even if the actor himself hasn’t this result is not taken into account.

“These things are like wonderful Christmas presents for people who care about history,” Weyman said with a smile when asked if he thinks Gandalf might acquire Narya sooner The Rings of Poweris the final season. “But my goodness, I hadn’t even considered that Gandalf might have a ring. Now there’s a little voice inside me that says, ‘Oh, it would be nice to have a ring.’ I have no idea where he is.” [the story] will go – I mean, he just got his baton. But yes, what a wonderful thing to dream about.”
