We cannot believe how gorgeous these first look “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” are. We knew some notable characters from the J R R Tolkien classics were coming to Amazon’s series. But actually seeing the Lady Galadriel in full armor is such a treat! Also, you know, PRINCE DURIN and freaking Lord Elrond!
This is strangely emotional. Hopeful, astounded, and nervous all at the same time. Please enjoy these amazing “The Rings of Power” images from Vanity Fair:

We’ll dive into more detail about the show a bit later today. But needless to say, we cannot wait for the first teaser trailer to arrive during Super Bowl LVI on Sunday, February 13th.
“The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” will premiere on Prime Video on September 2nd, 2022.
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
