On Friday, everything changed in “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” when worlds collided and light battled darkness.
(Spoiler alert: This article addresses plot points from the most recent episode of “Rings of Power” on Prime Video.)
Humans, elves and Númenóreans came together in a fierce battle against Adar and the Orcs. Ismael Cruz Córdova, who plays the elf Arondir, said preparing for the battles in Episode 6, “Udûn,” was a lengthy process.
“I was training a lot for that,” he told TheWrap. “The training was ongoing for over a year, this precise episode. … You know that berserker, when I battled that tall thing – the tall orc? That was maybe two or three months training because I was very involved in creating the battle as well as that fight.
