It’s the kind of break actors spend years dreaming about, but Markella Kavenagh landed her role in the new Lord of the Rings series while still a teen. She talks to Genevieve Quigley.
for $US250 million in November 2017, die-hard fantasy fans have been picking over any tiny morsel of information they can get their hands on about the series. So it’s not surprising then that online forums went into a frenzy when Markella was the first casting to be announced, accompanied by an image of her character.As Nori, Markella has curly ash-brown hair and elfin ears. Her cheeks are round and rosy, and her expression is wide-eyed and innocent.
“”I never thought that I would find myself in fantasy,” she confesses. “I fell in love with film through minimalist, neorealist movies like Bicycle Thievesand Shoplifters.” Given the feverish fascination with Tolkien’s work, is Markella ready for the fame that will become her reality when the series goes to air? “I’m just kind of staying open and seeing what happens,” she says, either completely unfazed or possibly unaware of what lies ahead.A quick look at Markella’s Instagram profile shows she has a modest 12,000 followers. No doubt that will explode with her growing celebrity. “I have so many thoughts about social media,” she says.
