Actor Ismael Cruz Cordova Discusses Unexpected Character Death in The Rings of Power

In the gritty world of Rings of Power's second season, despair looms large, especially for those who survived the tumultuous events of season one. But among all the gloom, it's Arondir's storyline that encounters a deeply personal loss—the loss of village healer, Bronwyn.

Bronwyn, a strong-willed healer and leader of the Southlanders, left a lasting impact on the village of Pelargir. Her selfless acts, rallying her people to defend their homeland, resonate even after her demise. Although her exit wasn't entirely unexpected, with actress Nazanin Boniadi stepping back from her career to focus on advocacy, her departure undeniably sets the stage for a poignant emotional journey for Arondir.

With Bronwyn's passing, Arondir grapples with a torrent of guilt. His love for Bronwyn and her son Theo might have been a journey fraught with elven-human perils, but as actor Maximillian M grown-up Mordor's grip tightens, Arondir is compelled to make choices, balancing his guilt and Theo's simmering resentment.

According to Cordova, Arondir's frozen resolve to safeguard the Southlands and its people is put to the test. In the opening episodes, Theo's resentment is palpable, but for Arondir, duty calls. As the season unfolds, Arondir must once again make a tough call: to rescue Theo when he faces troubling times. In the face of adversity, Arondir demonstrates his unwavering commitment—a clear indication of his character.

Season two of Rings of Power is now streaming on Prime Video. As we delve deeper into this fantastical realm, let's see how the absence of Bronwyn shapes Theo's journey and adds another layer of complexity to Arondir's decisions.

  1. The loss of Bronwyn, a strong-willed healer in the Southlands, leads to a significant emotional journey for Arondir, especially as he grapples with his guilt over her death.
