Middle-earth just gained two more inhabitants.
Jamie Campbell Bower and Eddie Marsan have joined the cast of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” for the Amazon Prime Video series’ upcoming third season.
Bower will be a series regular, while Marsan will appear in a recurring role. The season is currently in pre-production and will begin filming this spring at Shepperton Studios in the U.K.
Bower is perhaps best known for playing the villain Henry Creel/Vecna in Netflix’s “Stranger Things.” He also played Mick Jagger in “Urban Myths: Mick & Margaret,” Christopher Marlow in “Will,” King Arthur in “Camelot,” the voice of Skiff in “Thomas & Friends” and 11-12 in the remake of “The Prisoner” alongside Sir Ian McKellen.
Marsan played Terry Donovan in Showtime’s “Ray Donovan,” which ran for seven seasons. He reprised the role for the 2022 feature film. His other notable credits include “Deadpool 2,” “Atomic Blonde,” Guy Ritchie’s “Wrath of Man,” “Deceit,” “Ridley Road,” “White Boy Rick” and Adam McKay’s “Vice.”
