Lord Of The Rings Cosplay Captures Armored Rings Of Power Galadriel Ready For War

Galadriel’s look from The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is recreated to stunning effect in an impressive new cosplay. Taking place thousands of years before Frodo’s quest to destroy the One Ring, the hit Prime Video fantasy series introduces Morfydd Clark as a younger version of Galadriel, a character first played by Cate Blanchett in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Clark’s Galadriel, who is more of a warrior and more hot-headed, is next set to return to play a prominent role in The Rings of Power season 2.

Ahead of the release of season 2, @cosplay.valkyrie recreates a key Galadriel look from The Rings of Power season 1. Check it out below:

The cosplay recreates Galadriel’s armor featured in season 1 with a stunning level of detail, and the hairstyle, too, is very similar to Clark’s. The sword may not be a replica of Galadriel’s, but, as an ensemble, the cosplay certainly looks convincing and formidable.

Galadriel’s Warrior Side Will Return In The Rings Of Power Season 2

The Fight Against Sauron For Middle-earth Heats Up

One major change from Jackson’s Lord of the Rings in The Rings of Power season 1 is that Galadriel hasn’t yet become the ethereal, poised queen of Lothlórien that many viewers were familiar with. As a younger Elf, Clark’s Galadriel is instead much more of a warrior. The character engages in some major action sequences in season 1, but the Rings of Power season 1 finale certainly sets Galadriel up to bring back her warrior persona in a big way in season 2.

LOTR: What If Galadriel Took The One Ring (How Powerful Would She Be?)

Galadriel dreamed of claiming the One Ring and replacing Sauron as Lord of Middle-earth, but she resisted the temptation. What if she hadn’t in LOTR?

With Halbrand having revealed himself to be Sauron after deceiving Galadriel and the rest of the Rings of Power cast throughout season 1, season 2 will see the character becoming more powerful and spreading darkness across Middle-earth. The Rings of Power season 2 trailer has already teased that Sauron will be building up Mordor and adopting a disguise in order to forge the titular rings with Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards), meaning Galadriel and her companions likely have major battles ahead of them.

At least one of these battles has already been teased by showrunners Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne. In a recent interview with Empire, the pair promise a multi-episode battle in The Rings of Power season 2, an event that is sure to involve Galadriel suiting up in her armor once more. It remains to be seen how Galadriel will continue to evolve in Prime Video’s Lord of the Rings show, but audiences are evidently in for more of her warrior side.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2 premieres on Prime Video on August 29.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brings to screens the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history for the very first time. Set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, The Rings of Power will explore a time in the franchise where kingdoms rose and fell, where The One Ring itself was forged and tells the tale of the rise of the greatest foe in the Lord of the Rings Franchise, the Dark Lord Sauron. Beginning in a time of peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of familiar and new characters as they confront the long-feared reemergence of evil in Middle-earth. From the depths of the Misty Mountains to the forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the island kingdom of Númenor, to the farthest reaches of the map, The Rings of Power promises to condense the extended works of Tolkien in a condensed but all-encompassing TV show format. The first season of The Rings of Power began airing exclusively on Prime Video on September 2, 2022
