Charlie Vickers, who plays Halbrand in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, revealed that he didn’t know his character was Sauron until the third episode of the first season. The show’s creators kept the twist a secret, leading viewers to believe Halbrand was an ally to Galadriel. The revelation shocked both the audience and Vickers, who learned about it during filming. The series, set in the Second Age, delves into the dark history of Middle-earth and Sauron’s rise to power.
