‘The Rings Of Power’ Is Losing Its Best Actor

There will be seven new cast members in The Rings of Power.

There was a recasting buried in that news. The role of Adar will be played by someone else. Sam Hazeldine will replace Mawle in the part.

I enjoyed my time in Middle-earth and the mythology of J.R.R. The character was liked by a lot of people. He wanted to tell you his tale. As an actor I want to explore new characters and worlds. I will be cheering you on from the sideline.

There are many reasons why someone would leave a show. Maybe there was a better role for him somewhere else. It is possible that he will show up in Snow in the Game of Throne spinoff. It would be cool if he were to reprise his role as Benjen Stark.

There are many good reasons to stay on a show like Rings of Power which is a huge show with a huge budget. In my opinion, the best actor in the whole thing was Mawle, he gave Adar depth and texture that most characters didn't have. It's a big deal to leave a show and a paycheck behind. I think it's possible that Mawle wasn't happy with the outcome. There is a goofy powerpoint transition that we get during Adar's final scene in Season 1 that many people don't remember.

It is not flattering to anyone involved with the show.

I am not sure how the character Adar will recover from the loss of one of the best actors in the movie, and I am not sure if it will happen again. Adar once again asks Halbrand, "Do you remember me?" and Halbrand responds, "No."

The Rings of Power is likely to come back in a few years. The new cast members can be found here. My video reaction to the Adar is below.
