Why does the Second Age matter in Middle-Earth lore? Check out the video below. If that’s all a bit confusing, just read our explainer on Middle-earth’s Second Age and what it means for Amazon’s show. If Amazon is aiming for a smaller scale villain, the Second Age was also when the Ringwraiths were created, and encapsulates the War of the Rings between Sauron and the Elves. The Second Age ends with the defeat of Sauron’s armies at the hands of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men, so it’s entirely possible that Sauron may play a role. Considering Amazon’s series is set during the Second Age, that could mean a lot of things. It’s been reported that Mawle is playing the role of a villain in The Lord of the Rings. He’s also had roles in Sense8, Birdsong, 2015’s In the Heart of the Sea, and in the current MotherFatherSon series. Joseph Mawle is probably best known for his small, but meaningful role in Game of Thrones as Benjen Stark, uncle to the Stark children and brother to Sean Bean’s Ned Stark.
