The Rings of Power star Charlie Vickers thinks Galadriel and Sauron are "connected" by their psyche in season 2
Exclusive: Charꦅlie Vickers also tells GamesRadar+ how he developed Sauro♓n’s new disguise Annatar in season 2

By the end of The Rings of Power season 1, Halbrand’s secret is out: he is Sauron. But don't be expecting the ultimate trickster to be hiding in pla💮in sight w🌠hen Prime Video's epic fantasy returns.
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Rings of Power season 2 actually introduces a new, iconic version of the character: Annatar. Known as the Lord of Gifts, this is Sauron’s "fair form" and from what we know from canon, and 澳洲幸🍷运5开奖号码历史查询:what we’ve seen in the tꦛrailers, he’ll have a new target of manipulation: Cel𒅌ebrimbor. Heading to Eregion, it seems Annatar will wield his power in a bid to craft more rings of power.
Speaking at San Diego Comic-Con, Sauron star Charlie Vickers tells GamesRadar+ it was an exciting challenge to bring a new version of the character to the screen. "I think everything had to come from a psychological throughline," he explains. "The whole thing was based off the psychology that I developed for the character from the beginning so everything that existedꦛ within Halbrand, has to exist within Annatar.
"I started off 🌜being like, 'Well he has to move completely differently, talk completely differently,' but the further we got through the process of developing it I realized they share a lot of things. The main thing is you know wanting to make rings, right? This idea that’s planted at the end of the first season – to heal Middle-earth."
We meet Sauron at an interesting point again in The Rings of Power season 2, having been cast out by Galadriel after she found his true identity. It’s a move t🍰hat Vickers says "pissed" his character off. "I think they’re connected, if not by proximity then by their psyche," he explains of his 🌌and Morfydd Clark’s character’s dynamic in season 2.
"They’re higher beings so I’m su🐻re it 𝕴runs deeper than being in the same place together. I think the fact that when she turns him down at the end of season one, it pisses him off quite a bit. I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t a part of him that thinks, 'I can get her, I can get to join me.'"
