Is Amazon Prime Video's 'Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' the most expensive show ever made?

Talking about the dynamic Elrond shares with Galadriel and Celebrimbor, Aramayo said, "The wonderful Charles Edwards. I loved working with them and they're such different relationships, those two, you know? There's a reverence for Galadriel, she's a hero, she's a legend, she's living history. I think that that was really important, I really feel that he has a tremendous amount of respect for her in a very particular way, and there's a lot of heart in that relationship, where she's very close to him, and she's guided him in the past."

He also added, "Whereas, with Celebrimbor, it's a different kind of respect for a different type of legend. It's more practical of what he's achieved, what he's achieving his dream, his goal for Eregion is inspiring, you feel like you're being a part of history. We all wanted the relationships to be quite different, but I just felt really lucky to work with those two actors, because they're absolutely wonderful."

'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' premieres September 1 on Amazon Prime Videos.
