Arondir almost had long hair in Rings of Power. 'I was one of the people that wanted to have long hair, and then we tested a few things, and it just wasn't really hitting. As the character developed, just felt more appropriate for him to be short-haired.'
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power star Ismael Cruz Córdova revealed that his Elf character, Arondir, almost had longer hair in the show. The Elven archer is one of many prominent Elf characters in the series, with a story focused on the defense of the Southlands from a horde of Orcs led by the mysterious Adar. An original character to The Rings of Power, Arondir was last seen assisting the people of the Southlands after Mount Doom destroyed their homeland, turning it into Mordor.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In an interview with Collider, Córdova revealed that Arondir almost had longer hair in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. He says that while he pushed for Arondir to have longer hair like many other Elves in Middle-earth, it was ultimately decided that short hair worked better for his character. Check out what Córdova had to say below:
There was a moment in which I did test with a wig. I did the wig, and it was unfortunate, I think. The conversation... they were leaning very strongly towards short hair from the beginning. I was one of the people that wanted to have long hair, and then we tested a few things, and it just wasn't really hitting. And as the character developed, just felt more appropriate for him to be short-haired.
Because of his status as an original character in The Rings of Power, it's unclear where Arondir's story will go in season 2 of the show. Due to his presence in the Southlands, though, it appears that he will continue to assist the people of the nation as they recover from the devastating eruption of Mount Doom. Whether Arondir's help is wanted or not remains to be seen, as his insistence on battling Adar resulted in many casualties.
While he may be facing backlash from the people of the Southlands for their collective failure at defending it, Arondir will continue to grow closer to Bronwyn and Theo in season 2. While Sauron's sword being out of Theo's possession leaves his story in season 2 unclear, it's possible that he may accompany Arondir on a mission to reverse the damage done to the Southlands because of the dark weapon.
