The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season two revealed the identity of one important wizard. As we long suspected, The Rings of Power’s The Stranger was actually Gandalf, who had forgotten his name and identity. In The Rings of Power season three, we’ll see Gandalf more fully inhabit his true self and his powers, and that includes the wonderful ability of Gandalf to feel compassion, pity, and love for his fellow creatures. Daniel Weyman shares that in the third season of The Rings of Power, Gandalf will be finding the softness in people whose hearts have hardened. And he tells Nerdist that Gandalf has one very specific target in mind to save from the grip of evil: his fellow Middle-earth wizard, the Dark Wizard.
In The Rings of Power season two, the Dark Wizard appeared corrupted by the idea of power and control. He didn’t seek to save Middle-earth, but rule it. And when his “old friend,” The Stranger/Gandalf, did not want to join him on his dark paths, he grew angry and violent. But Daniel Weyman shares in our interview that Gandalf hasn’t given up on his friend; in The Rings of Power season three, he will seek to reach the Dark Wizard’s heart and save it.
Weyman reveals, “I think at the end of season two of The Rings of Power, we saw The Dark Wizard really upset The Stranger, who was turning into Gandalf. I think he found it very disturbing that this person, who was claiming to have been a friend, wanted to side with Sauron and take this sort of domination, this sort of grab of energy and power. And I think he can’t work out what’s going on inside that other creature’s mind and body and soul.”
But Gandalf isn’t about to give up on the Dark Wizard and lose him to evil. Weyman continues, “And so if he gets the opportunity, I think he’s going to watch out for moments where he can see the crack in the armor, where he can see a chance to get light in. And especially with The Dark Wizard, that’s a point of which I think this sadness that sometimes The Dark Wizard has is so clear for him to see. Is that a possible way in? Can he use that? Can he unpack? Because we know Gandalf has a lot of knowledge about sadness. He understands pity. And so hopefully that’s a way into the Dark Wizard’s heart.”
But whether there is or not, Gandalf will certainly give it his best efforts. “He might not be” someone Gandalf can save, Weyman concludes of the Dark Wizard, “He might not be, but I might try.”
Go Deeper on the Dark Wizard and Gandalf in The Rings of Power
We may have finally found out that Gandalf is Gandalf, but the identity of The Dark Wizard on The Rings of Power remains a mystery. The showrunners have confirmed he’s not Sauron, so who does that leave?
