Then we see Clark sharing intriguing details about her role in the series, “Galadriel’s an immortal elf. She’s fiery and hopeful. But haunted by the death of her brother and on a quest for vengeance. She’s one-track minded in what she’s doing.”

Then, we see another glimpse of Galadriel in conversation with another character adding, “I call on you to finish the task left undone and fight with me." Then in final seconds of clip, we see Galadriel saying this dialogue, “You have not seen what I have seen.”

‘Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ is based on late novelist JRR Tolkien’s novel ‘The Lord of the Rings' and its appendices. The series has been created and developed by showrunners JD Payne and Patrick McKay for the streaming service. It is set in the Second Age of Middle-earth, thousands of years before Tolkien's ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings.’ The series has been produced by Amazon Studios in collaboration with Tolkien Estate, the Tolkien Trust, Harper Collins and New Line Cinema.

In an interview during the Television Critic Association’s press tour, the showrunners were asked if the show was "vaguely connected" to Tolkien’s books. The reply was the duo explaining that there was no fantasy world if not for Tolkien. It took the writer more than a decade to pen down 'The Lord of the Rings' and for the developers, it was only fair that they gave complete credit to Tolkien who died in 1973.
