In the trailer, which premiered to Prime Video subscribers, Galadriel Elrond, played by Robert Aramayo — best known for playing young Eddard Stark on Game of Thrones — warns: “The enemy still exists, and the question now is where.”
Clarke rose to fame in 2019 in the horror drama Saint Maud for which she was nominated for Best Actress at the British Independent Film Awards and the Bafta Award for Rising Star.
