Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The villain Adar has been recast for The Rings of Power season 2, and the actor change might leave viewers wondering why Joseph Mawle is no longer portraying the character. Adar is a character original to The Rings of Power, and he plays a fairly mysterious role throughout season 1 of the Prime Video series. It's later revealed that he's one of the Elves and that he was tortured by Morgoth.
Joseph Mawle Quit As Adar To Explore Other Opportunities & Roles The Actor Already Has Other Projects Lined Up Mawle's departure from The Rings of Power was announced in December 2022, not long after the first season of the Prime Video series concluded. The actor took to Twitter to explain his reasons for not returning for The Rings of Power season 2, and they have to do with his career aspirations.
Sam Hazeldine will bring Adar to life in the Amazon show's sophomore season, and the actor will need to master the villain's mannerisms to ensure a seamless transition.
