Variety is reporting that Midsommar actor Will Poulter is to be one of the headline stars in Amazon Prime’s upcoming Lord of the Rings series.
As with most of the casting announcements across various projects this week, we have no idea who Poulter will be playing but we understand that he will be one of the series leads.
The series is set to enter production soon with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom director J.A. Bayona taking on the first couple of episodes. Taking a fresh look at the franchise the Amazon show will be set in the second-age of J.R.R Tolkien’s Middle Earth at a time when Sauron was only just beginning to rise.
No release date has been set for the series.
