Variety is reporting that Will Poulter (The Maze Runner franchise, Midsommar, Black Mirror: Bandersnatch) has been cast as one of the leads in Amazon’s Lord of the Rings series.
The highly-anticipated Lord of the Rings series will be set in the Second Age, Amazon recently confirmed.
The Second Age covered nearly 3,441 years, and it began after the banishment of Morgoth, the dark lord before Sauron.
That places approximately 3,000 years of history between the series and the beginning of The Lord of the Rings.
