Is Cate Blanchett's Galadriel In The Rings Of Power?
Does Cate Blanchett appear in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power? From the very beginning, Amazon's Middle-earth project promised familiar faces, but with over 3000 years separating The Rings of Power from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, producers weren't exactly blessed with options. With even Legolas too young to get involved, The Rings of Power only had Galadriel, Elrond and Sauron available as major names from The Lord of the Rings.

Sauron's actor remains unconfirmed, Elrond is portrayed by Game of Thrones' Robert Aramayo, and Galadriel is played by Morfydd Clark. Given how these characters are millennia younger than in Lord of the Rings, youthful elvish casting is to be expected. And even though The Rings of Power is drawing heavily from the aesthetic and style of Peter Jackson's movies, Amazon's TV series technically doesn't occupy the same continuity. Morfydd Clark isn't playing a young version of Cate Blanchett's Galadriel, she's playing a different Galadriel interpretation altogether.

No possibility can be ruled out entirely, however. Were an older Galadriel to
