Hey, come derry dol, and hop along, my hearties, because Amazon's Lord of the Rings prequel is adding one of J.R.R. Tolkien's most fascinating characters.
After generations of adaptations skirted around him, Tom Bombadil is dancing a merry jig into the spotlight: when Amazon’s Lord of Rings show returns this August, it’s bringing the bizarre, mystically powerful forest-folk with it. Vanity Fair confirmed that Bombadil will appear in season 2 of the Amazon streaming series, played by Penny Dreadful and Bond actor Rory Kinnear .
Because of Bombadil’s vague nature, Rings of Power will be able to take a few liberties of its own in adapting the character, where he’ll play a significant role in the journey of Daniel Weyman’s similarly mysterious Stranger—the amnesiac man who spent much of season 1 hanging out with the Harfoots, only for us to eventually learn in its climax that he is indeed one of the magical Istari, the powerful spirits sent down from the cosmos to combat the threat of Sauron.
