"The Rings of Power" is set thousands of years before the Third Age, the timeframe that Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" trilogy and "The Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy are both set.
However, there are four characters from those trilogies that will make an appearance in the upcoming Amazon spin-off, based on J.R.R. Tolkien's famous books.
Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) and Elrond (Robert Aramayo), who appear in the first teaser trailer, have more of a role in the second trailer. They appear to be arguing with Elrond attempting to persuade Galadriel to give up trying to chase a mystery villain.
In the movie trilogies, Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) and Elrond (Hugo Weaving) are supporting characters who help the main characters in their mission to defeat the evil Sauron.
