There may be a lot of mystery surrounding Amazon’s upcoming Lord of the Rings series. Given that it will not strictly be adapting the novels, but rather a bunch of the mythology surrounding Middle-earth, many of us can only guess what the plot will entail or what characters will be involved. However, it looks like the production is well on its way, with one man being cast.

According to Variety, Will Poulter will be joining the Amazon Prime original series. He will be playing one of the leads of the show, but it’s unclear just who his character will be…kinda like everything else involving the show.

Poulter is known for his work on We’re the Millers, Maze Runner, The Revenant, and more recently, the eccentric game developer in Black Mirror: Bandersnatch. 

The story of this Lord of the Rings series is set to take place before the events in The Fellowship of the Ring novel, and all signs point to it being set during the Second Age, where the Rings of Power first came into existence.
