Fans eager to see a Galadriel/Sauron reunion in the second season of Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will be thrilled to see the pair meeting in hand-to-hand combat in the final trailer. The trailer also hints at Sauron’s growing dark powers and an unlikely alliance between elves and Uruks.
(Spoilers for S1 below.)
As previously reported, pretty much everyone guessed long before the S1 finale’s reveal that Halbrand (Charlie Vickers), king of the Southlands, was Sauron in disguise. Fans even dubbed him “Hot Sauron.” He took advantage of the fact that the elvish light of Valar was fading, putting the race of elves in danger of extinction unless they returned to Valinor to preserve their immortality. The discovery of the precious ore mithril gave the elves another option championed by Elrond (Robert Aramayo), Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), and the elven smith Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards).
