Lee Pace is always fantastic, and this looks like a good role for him. I loved the books, so I’ll probably check this out.

Very excited for this. It’s far enough removed from the events of LOTR proper that it can work as a stand-alone, but there’s still room for some interesting tie-ins: I’m particularly interested to see what they’ll do with Saruman, since Helm’s reign ends with the wizard taking control of...

That confirms Fellowship Of Fans' reporting from a few weeks ago: glad to see his scoops being proven true. As an aside, LOTRonPrime also posted this for Tolkien Reading Day (which is already underway in New Zealand):

The synopsis that TheOneRing revealed was (shockingly) real, multiple Hollywood trades confirmed that including Variety and Deadline. Problem is, the synopsis didn't reveal much beyond what we already knew - except that there will be stories beyond the furthest reaches of the map, or something...

Unfortunately no - Amazon never revealed who he was playing, and we have no idea of how big his role was supposed to be...

I wonder if the Squadron Supreme could be the

I've seen speculation that there will at least be another black and white segment later in the series because

It wouldn't surprise me any if he did show up eventually, since Secret Invasion is coming to the MCU in the near future and the Secret Warriors team was rumored to be an element of that (or even getting their own spinoff series).

I don’t mind the concept behind the newer look: I think with a few tweaks, it could look really good. I think the armor needs to be a little sleeker, less big and bulky.

I hope he’s Dracula. Then he’ll get to be in Blade too.

Just throwing out some random thoughts, having now watched these episodes several times: Between Agnes talking about how "that's not the only place he [the devil] is", and her rabbit being named Senor Scratchy (both a reference to the Devil's nickname, Nick Scratch, or Agatha Harkness' own son...

I think so. I feel like they could get away with having him take multiple forms, because he is a shapeshifter, but I imagine his main form will be Annatar, disguised as an Elf. He may also disguise himself as a human when he infiltrates Numenor - Tolkien never said whether he took a different...

No problem. I really only follow IGN for gaming news, so I don’t know if their movie news division is even all that reliable.

In the article, they did say they confirmed it with their own sources.
