The Rings of Power Trailer: New Galadriel Reads Classic LOTR Speech
The first teaser trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power features the show's new Galadriel reading J.R.R. Tolkien's classic Ring Verse speech. Amazon has spent the last several years developing an incredibly ambitious TV show set in the Lord of the Rings world. Set in Middle-earth's Second Age, the series explores a time period years before the events previously featured in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy.

None of the actors involved with the Lord of the Rings movies are involved in the series, and it is confirmed that at least a few major roles were recast. This includes an unknown actor playing Elrond the Lord of Rivendell, previously played by Hugo Weaving, and Morfydd Clark playing young Galadriel. Cate Blanchett played the ruler of the Elven realm Lothlórien/Lórien in the movies, but Clark taking on the role for Amazon's Lord of the Rings show indicates how big of a part she'll play.
