Sauron’s reveal in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Lord of the Rings: Th꧟e Rings of Power finale was pretty dramatic. After weeks of speculation, we finally learned that Halbrand (played by Charlie ♎Vickers) had been the Dark Lord all along. 

, Arondir star Ismael Cruz Cordova admitted they had a game going to work out who was playing the iconic Tolkien villain. 

"It was kind of a game amongst the cast," he told the publication. "I had a feeling from the get-go based on what we were reading, so I would cross people out. 'This person is canon. This person is not canon. There’s something fishy here.' So a few of us narrowed it down to the possibility that it was either me or Halbrand. The Stranger (Daniel Weyman) was a possibility as well, and Adar (Joseph Mawle) was ♍one of the more obvious ones."

Cordova said he ruled himseಌlf out pretty quickly as Arondir "is good to a fault", before setting his sights ꦐon Halbrand. "I don’t know if he remembers, but there was a moment where I gave Charlie Vickers a big wink," he continued. "I was like, 'What’s up, dude?' and I gave him a very knowing wink. But he was very good at not giving anything away, and as we went on, it just became so clear. I would be like, 'Hey, what’s up, Sauron?' just to try to get it out of him, but I knew for a while."

Sauron will likely play a big role in the upcoming The L𒈔ord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2, which is currently in production. In the meantime, check out our thoughts on why The Rings of Power's Sauron tw🌜ist worked so well and the big clue to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Stranger’s identity.
