I know you believe this ring is deceiving me but I believe it is guiding me well I am Grant from Screen Rant morth it's great to see you again Sam it's great to meet you and to talk for rings of power season 2 it just is an incredible start to this next chapter of the show uh morfi I'd actually like to turn to you first so in this season we see gadreel not only grappling with sort of her feelings for hbr even after sauron's reveal but also now the this Allure of the Ring of Power what is it like sort of finding this balance in the performance between someone who is still seeking to do the right thing for her people even as she's conflicted with these various emotions what just lovely red are in gladel there so nice um yeah it's really interesting because I think the risk glad is that she feels she's kind of escaped the clutches of saon but she really hasn't he's left lasting damage on her and um I think one of the things that she's really got to fight is maintaining hope and bravery um that despite what has happened she can go on to kind of fight for another world to the one that Sauron wants to create um and yeah it's I've been thinking a lot about that kind of when Gandalf is like a Fool's hope um because I think there's a lot of that in this season do you know there's people have got to be brave and people have got to take risks and people have got to continue to believe that what they can do can make a difference even though it feels like like the end yeah it's going to be really interesting to see how that plays out especially as uh saon and Adar over here start to gain their own power and Sam I would like to turn to you uh next so uh we see I mean this is obviously your first time in the role but in in a way it works perfectly because Adar is now sort of building his own power and finding his own identity separate from working under Sader on what is it like sort of capturing that side of this character in comparison to what Joseph did in season 1 well you know what Joseph did in season one was he succeeded in making a home for the for the uluk and uh so we are theoretically on on safe ground now um you know there's always going to be the threat of the elves and maybe the men of the Southlands but it's nothing compared to the sort of existential threat of Sauron but we quickly find out that he's back and so that throws everything into disarray immediately and we have to you know get back on the horse yeah so what is it then like crafting sort of your your own identity in this character while also staying true to what the showrunners and what Joseph did in season 1 well I mean I mean I really liked where where who the character was and what Joseph and the showrunners had created so um I didn't really think about it too much I think it's more of a case if you were kind of stuck doing something that was very limited that you didn't like that would be a problem because it's such a kind of fully fleshed out character so so complex that there's so much to to take and to play that I I really didn't give it too much thought and you know we look recognizably it's the same character obviously but we do look we don't look alike particularly um and so um yeah no it was just a pleasure really to to take over and and uh as I said I think it's sort of circumstances new circumstances the things things that really take Adar uh in in a in various different directions rather than a decision by an actor you know I think that's the answer well I love what you've done so far and I can't wait to see the rest and morfi I'll turn back to you really quickly Before I Let You Go season one had plenty of action for you the trailer has already sort of teased you fighting against saon with your sword but can you is there more action to come this season in comparison to season one um yeah there's lots of action um and um there's a little elf super group which I was really excited about um so we've got new elves and we're seeing the them kind of um was always really exciting when a new elf came on it was like what's their special way of doing things so I'm really looking forward to everyone meeting like an elf 18 yeah meeting these new characters cuz they were all amazing and it was nice to see gladel back amongst the elves well I really can't wait to see all of that come to fruition again I've seen the first three episodes and I've loved them so uh I can't wait to keep the word alive and then hopefully get you guys at third season so thank you both so much for taking the time I greatly appreciate it T to you bye so do we proceed no we must make three [Music]
