Amazon is releasing the first trailer to The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Super Bowl Sunday (Feb 13), but that doesn't mean they can't tease anticipated fans any more than they already have.

The streamer has released first look images at the upcoming series via Vanity Fair and it unveils the Elven Queen Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), then a young warrior.

It also reveals characters old and new such as Ismael Cruz Cordova as the elf Arondir, Robert Aramayo as young elven leader Elrond, Charlie Vickers as a new character named Halbrand, Nazanin Boniadi as the healer Bronwyn, Owain Arthur as Prince Durin IV of Khazad-dum and Sophia Nomvete as Dwarven princess Disa.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is led by showrunners JD Payne and Patrick McKay. It takes place thousands of years before the events of The Lord of the Rings films and unites all the major stories of Middle-earth's Second Age: The forging of the rings, the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron, the epic tale of Numenor and the Last Alliance of Elves and Men.
