The Standard caught up with the stars of the hit fantasy series at the London premiere for its third season

Stars of Amazon's fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power gathered in London on Tuesday night ahead of the show's third season, with Benjamin Walker promising fans a "mind-blowing" return.

The actor, who plays High King Gil-galad, said viewers can expect to see one of the most significant moments in Tolkien lore as the Dark Lord Sauron forges the One Ring.

Speaking to the London Standard at the show's London premiere, Walker said: “You're gonna see him make the ring. It's not a spoiler. It's in the trailer, and it's awesome.”

He added: “The way they've designed the creating of it and using the vocabulary of Tolkien's visuals, it's gonna be mind-blowing.”

The third season of the Amazon fantasy drama sees Middle-earth plunged further into war, with Sauron tightening his grip on the land as he works to forge the One Ring and bring its remaining kingdoms under his control.

Set several years after the events of the second season, the new episodes follow the escalating conflict between Sauron and the Elves, with the Dwarves, Men and Wizards also facing the growing threat of darkness.

The first four episodes were released on Prime Video today (November 11), with the remaining episodes arriving in two instalments later this month.

The London premiere took place at Queen Elizabeth Hall at the Southbank Centre, where the venue was transformed into a sprawling Middle-earth-inspired landscape, complete with grass, forest scenery and towering flames.

The spectacular setting appeared to impress the cast just as much as their guests, with Charlie Vickers admitting he was so excited by the surroundings that he began running around and touching the elaborate sets.
