THE LORD OF THE RINGS:THE RINGS OF POWER:S3 - CHATTING WITH STARS BENJAMIN WALKER & CYNTHIA ADDAI-ROBINSON
/Forging the one ring to rule them all! Get ready for Season 3 of THE LORD OF THE RINGS:
THE RINGS OF POWER!
In Season Three of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Middle-earth is at war. Five years have passed since the fall of Eregion. Sauron’s armies have marched across the whole of the world, conquering all in their path. Only a few isolated pockets stand between the Dark Lord and total victory – Khazad-dûm, where the Dwarves are now sealed deep within their mountain halls, and the elven realms of Lindon and Rivendell, which are protected by their Three Rings.
But deep in the land of Mordor, in his newly completed tower of Barad-dûr, the Dark Lord toils day and night, obsessed with harnessing a power that will bring the last of his enemies to their knees: One Ring to rule them all... Now, all the free peoples of Middle-earth – Dwarves, Elves, Men, and Wizards alike – must find a way to come together, in a race against time to prevent Sauron from achieving his goal of utter domination of all life...
Benjamin Walker was most recently nominated for a Tony Award for his standout performance of Chris Keller in Arthur Miller’s Broadway play All My Sons. Showing his ability to move from one stage to the next, Walker just wrapped a lead role opposite Liam Neeson and Laurence Fishburne in the independent feature film The Ice Road. Walker is widely known for his leading role in Ron Howard’s film In the Heart of the Sea, where he starred opposite Chris Hemsworth, Cillian Murphy and Tom Holland. Walker can also be seen in the critically acclaimed film Flags of Our Fathers, directed by Clint Eastwood and Muhammad Ali’s Greatest Fight, directed by Stephen Frears. Walker also starred opposite Teresa Palmer in the well-received Lionsgate feature The Choice, based on the book by Nicolas Sparks. Continuing to show his diversity, Walker is remembered for playing the villain/love interest in the last season of Netflix’s Jessica Jones opposite Kristen Ritter.
