The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 Reveals Tom Bombadil

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will give J.R.R. Tolkien's fans something that even Peter Jackson's six ambitious Middle-earth movies chose to avoid: Tom Bombadil . The powerful being with a buoyant demeanor, whose exact nature has confounded Tolkien scholars for decades, was excised from Jackson's adaptation of The Fellowship of the Ring. The Rings of Power Season 2 has cast Men star Rory Kinnear in the role.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 finds Tom Bombadil in the Rhûn, the region of Middle-earth east of the newly created Mordor populated by men loyal to Sauron and his master, Morgoth. The three Mystics who pursued the Stranger in The Ring of Power Season 1 came from Rhûn and eventually recognized the Stranger as an Istari.

In Tolkien's writings, Rhûn is also where the two Blue Wizards, Alatar and Pallando, explored and attempted to free the Easterlings, the men of Rhûn, from Sauron's influence. Not much is written about their adventures. Given Tom Bombadil's nebulous nature, and his penchant for blue clothing, one must wonder if The Rings of Power will suggest he is a Blue Wizard, or at least associated with Alatar and Pallando.

"There's a reason why he hasn't been in prior adaptations, because in some ways he's sort of an anti-dramatic character," The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power co-showrunner J.D. Payne tells Vanity Fair of using Tom Bombadil."He's not a character who has a particularly strong agenda. He observes drama, but largely doesn't participate in it.
