Actor Morfydd Clark has opened up on returning to the third season of Rings of Power, which she describes as a homecoming. The actor, who is playing Galadriel, also opened up about the thrill playing an action-filled character.

Speaking in a statement to the press, Clark said, "I think physicality-wise, that's an amazing part. I never thought I'd be able to play a character like this. So I was fighting so much and, like, horse riding and doing all this crazy stuff. But, as an elf, that feeds the character and feeds into the emotion as well. She's a powerful physical being. It's a dream come true to play here."

She added, "I think one of the reasons that lots of people become actors is because they want to be part of, like, a gang, a touring company. And so to be able to come back again and again to this feels really lucky, and you also feel that it feeds the work because so much of talking, I feel, is about community. And so I feel really lucky to have this one."

The cast of the third season includes Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Maxim Baldry, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Ben Daniels, Kevin Eldon, Trystan Gravelle, Ciaran Hinds, Ema Horvath, Will Keen, Simon Pegg, Eddie Marsan, Rory Kinnear, and Daniel Weyman.

Set thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the series follows Sauron's rise to power.
