All this fuss about Charlie Rich, and here he is: Elven Painter #1

[buffyfan145]

Just got a major spoiler from Total Film magazine for "Rings of Power" season 2!!! 😀 In this article previewing their feature on the show in their new issue not only did get a new pic of Galadriel but also confirmation the prolouge opening season 2 is a flashback of Sauron and Adar after Morgoth's downfall and what happened between them!!! They go into more detail, which I'll put behind a cut , but this also confirms some leaks we got too including that similar to season 1 having a Galadriel flashback s2 is Sauron.

The writers confirm the scene we'll see is a coronation like scene where Sauron is getting crowned and taking his place as Morgoth's successor. However, Adar tricks him and uses the crown to stab him in the back and like Julius Ceaser he and the orcs then "kill" him, which is the white blast we see in the s2 trailer that freezes everything.

This all fits with the leaks, but those leaks also say that the actor playing Sauron is not Charlie Vickers but someone who resembles him with long, light brown hair. This made most of us, including me, think it's Charlie Rich, who has been teasing he's got a minor role but it plays a big part. Both Charlie's look like they could be siblings and we know Adar knew a different form. However, unlike these leakers I don't think this is the Mairon form either but could be wrong. We know Sauron had even more forms in the first age and unless we see Valinor flashbacks I doubt we'll see what Mairon originally looked like. So our headcannons about Mairon having red hair and maybe Charlie Vickers still playing him could work still.

But this also is likely when Sauron takes his Halbrand form as we know he can't be killed and we saw him reforming in the trailer. I do wonder if the show is going to have it where once a form of his is "killed" he can't take that form again. And we know now too Annatar still looks like Halbrand because he also reveals to Celebrimbor when he's back in Eregion that he's the same person, likely pretending that Annatar is his "true" form and he was sent by the Valar to have Celebrimbor help him (and I think to mess with Galadriel too as he created Halbrand for her by Charlie's words now in s2 interviews).

This also now adds more meaning to the Haladriel scenes where she wants him to be King of the Southlands and lead those people, and then having Galadriel be his queen. He got tricked and "killed" the last time he tried to, but she convinces him to do it again and believe in himself. It can tie into that he really was repentant too for those of us that think it, and Tolkien even said he was at first before his evil ways came back.

And there's the theory that Galadriel released him at the fortress as a lot think Adar had his spirit imprisoned. Then that's when he took the Halbrand form. So it'll be great to see if that's the case and how these scenes play out and if we're right.

Charlie Rich - Cloud Nine (1959?)

I'm something of a Charlie Rich fan, though nowhere near a completist. While best known for his rich, soulful vocals, he was also a fantastic piano player (and songwriter). Here's a wonderfully pensive instrumental from the late 50s, I think.

Lord I feel like going home I tried and I failed and I'm tired and weary Everything I done is wrong And I feel like going home

Lord I tried to see it through But it was too much for me Now I'm coming home to you Yeah I feel like going home

Clouded skies are closing in And not a friend around to help me Of all the places I've been Lord I feel like going home

We got another leak about "Rings of Power" s2 and putting it behind a cut since it's from one of the Twitter/X accounts but they've been pretty accurate with their info that got later confirmed by the actual press. It's dealing with the season 2 premiere as well and this also would explain a few things that happened last year with the other leaks so I do think it's accurate.

The "Rings of Power Era/Updates" account posted today they got word about there being another actor playing the original form of Sauron, aka Mairon, in the prologue of season 2 which will explain Sauron's backstory similar to season 1's about Galadriel. Just like how we had a younger child actor playing her that looked like Morfydd, according to this leak another actor is playing him in these scenes but he resembles Charlie Vickers. It's set in Durnost at a coronation like scene wearing red and gold robes with long light-brown hair. There's also been rumors we'll see glimpses of him in Valinor and even when he switched sides to work with Morgoth. This is also where we saw in the s2 trailer where Adar thought he "killed" Sauron and the fortress Galadriel found frozen over.

This all points back to last year when we kept getting those leaks of another actor playing the "original form" that Fellowship of Fans posted that also caused some confusion as they thought Annatar would look the same as Mairon, and that Halbrand/Sauron turns back into this form to prove to Adar it's him and he's still alive. Then UK actor Charlie Rich has been posting since then that he's playing either a version of Sauron or connected too him and he too has the long, light-brown hair mentioned here and he posted some videos in his Instagram stories when he filmed wearing clothes similar to described here. We all thought he was either misleading or playing an elf, but now I'm thinking even more it's him and it's just a guest staring role for these scenes. He even mentioned in this article here from this past May about being on the show but signing an NDA so he can't say for sure who he's playing.

I know a lot of us will be sad to see Charlie Vickers isn't playing Mairon, but I'm ok with this if this is the case. I've actually been following Charlie Rich on Instagram since it leaked he was filming for the show over a year ago and he's a fan too. I do see a resemblance between the Charlies and this will work for me as Charlie Rich's role is minor enough that he didn't get announced with the new recurring cast and we can treat it more like how we did with the child Galadriel scenes. So we'll see what happens but I do feel this likely is correct.
