As a seasoned gamer and die-hard Tolkien fan with over three decades of Middle-earth immersion under my belt, I must say that The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has managed to keep me hooked, despite its occasional deviations from the source material. The Stranger reveal in the season finale was a satisfying payoff for fans who have been theorizing about his identity for years. While some purists may grumble about Gandalf’s early appearance in the Second Age, I find it intriguing to witness the character’s evolution in this prequel series.
Amazon Prime Video’s show, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power concluded its second season on October 2nd, and in the finale, there was a significant disclosure that resolved a longstanding query about a key character. [Here be spoilers for The Rings of Power]
According to GamesRadar, the season finale reveals who The Stranger truly is – someone fans had speculated about. In this episode, The Stranger encounters Tom Bombadil at his hut and Bombadil tells him: “A wizard doesn’t choose his staff; it chooses him, like his name.” To which The Stranger replies, “Isn’t that going to be my name – Gandalf?
Indeed, it has been revealed that after much debate among fans over the years, The Stranger is indeed Gandalf. This new revelation promises an intriguing direction for the storyline moving forward.

It seems not every fan of Tolkien was thrilled with the revelation, as they noted that Gandalf didn’t arrive in Middle-earth until the Third Age, while the television series is set during the Second Age instead.
Although an official renewal for Season 3 of “The Rings of Power” hasn’t been announced yet, there’s a strong likelihood that it will be, given that the creators have already planned out five seasons in detail, right up to the last scene.
In related news concerning Gandalf, Ian McKellen has expressed his desire to reprise his role as the venerable wizard in future Lord of the Rings movies. At this point, no formal casting decisions have been made public, but McKellen himself has stated, “I’m not fond of the thought of anyone else taking on the role of Gandalf.
Although we may not yet embark on The Hunt for Gollum, the upcoming Lord of the Rings movie titled The War of the Rohirrim is set to hit theaters in December. This animated production recounts the tale of Helm Hammerhand, portrayed by Brian Cox, and Princess Hera, played by Gaia Wise.
