RingsOfPower's Joseph Mawle explains Adar being recast for season 2 👀 'I loved my time exploring middle earth and diving into Tolkien’s mythology... Though as an actor it remains my wish, my job description to explore new characters and worlds.' 😯
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power star Joseph Mawle offers a heartfelt explanation as to why Adar has been recast for season 2. Based on author J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved novels, Prime Video's latest venture into the fantasy genre premiered in September, earning mostly positive reviews from critics. The Rings of Power takes place thousands of years before the events of Peter Jackson's acclaimed The Lord of the Rings trilogy, chronicling the rise of evil in Middle-earth.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY After it was announced recently that The Rings of Power will recast Adar for season 2, in addition to adding a number of other new cast members, Mawle has now taken to Twitter to offer an explanation to fans as to why he will not be returning. While the actor doesn't go into specifics, his post suggests he's simply interested in pursuing other projects and bringing other characters to life.
Adar mysteriously disappears after the eruption of what is revealed to be Mount Doom and The Rings of Power season 1 finale leaves his fate up in the air. It's not clear if Adar was intentionally lying about killing Sauron or if he genuinely believes that he did, but the comment hints that season 2 could further explore the character's backstory and the circumstances of their fight.
It remains to be seen what role Adar will play in The Rings of Power season 2, but many fans will likely miss Mawle's nuanced take on the character. It's possible that there's more to the story than the actor is letting on, considering he was likely contracted for multiple seasons of the show, but he is evidently thankful for his time in the world of The Lord of the Rings and Middle-earth.
