Amazon's "Lord of the Rings" has confirmed its first starring role! The young elf queen Galadriel

According to an exclusive report from Variety, the "most expensive American TV series in history" - Amazon's "Lord of the Rings" has confirmed its first lead actor. Actor Morfydd Clark will play the key role of the Elf Queen Galadriel in "The Lord of the Rings".

Morfydd Calrk is a Swedish-born Welsh actor who is best known for his work on the film His Dark Materials.

Galadriel is the Queen of the Elves. She is an important character in the novels and movies such as The Silmarillion, The Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit. She is famous for her incomparable beauty, powerful strength, and infinite wisdom, but also a little arrogant and willful. When faced with the One Ring, Galadriel resisted the temptation of it and power, and finally chose to cross the sea to the west and go to Valinor. Cate Blanchett played the role in the movie version.

The series is set in the Second Age, also known as the Age of Numenor. The Second Age saw the development of the elven city of Rivendell, the dark lord Sauron forged the famous One Ring, and the elves, humans, and dwarves all united to fight for it. This period spans about 3441 years, so there will be many potential stories, and the elven queen who has been confirmed to be the lead actor will appear in front of the audience in a young posture.

Amazon's TV series "Lord of the Rings" is currently in pre-production and is expected to start filming in Auckland, New Zealand in the next few months. It will have five seasons, with the first season having 20 episodes and a total investment of $1 billion, which exceeds the investment of the film trilogy. It also beat "Game of Thrones" (costing about $15 million per episode) and became the most expensive American TV series in history.
