In the books, Sauron remained hidden in Middle-earth for a while after the First Age ended until he eventually resurfaced as "Annatar", a supposed friend to the Elves who went on to betray them in classic Saury fashion.īut what if Sauron did more than just impersonate an Elf? What if he planned this surprise meteor shower as a way to trick and deceive the inhabitants of Middle-earth? We've known for some time that The Rings of Power is all about Sauron's return following his crushing defeat at the hands of his master, Morgoth. So is this a brand new character? Or could the Meteor Man actually be someone we've already met before? The first two episodes don't reveal an answer just yet, but there are plenty of hints which suggest that Mr Meteor is definitely a familiar, bearded face. The closest they've come is to a poem written by JRR Tolkien called 'The Man in the Moon Came Down Too Soon' but even this fails to shed much light on the subject. Diehard fans of the books haven't been able to explain the surprise occurrence of a Second Age meteor strike though, and there are no obvious parallels to characters in the source material either. Played by Daniel Weyman, "the Stranger" (as he's credited) appears to us first as a naked, bearded man in the burning crater of said meteor. Ever since he first fell to Middle-earth in an early trailer, fans have been wondering who the mysterious "Meteor Man" might be. And now that Rings of Power is taking us thousands of years before the original movie trilogy, fans are being introduced to a whole host of new characters, as well as returning oldies like Elrond and Galadriel.īut there's one character in particular who's raising more than just a few bushy eyebrows. From the Elves and the Orcs to the Hobbits and the Harfoots, there's a lot of people to keep track of in Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Powerspoilers follow.
