The Rings of Power season 2 features the introduction of some major monsters into the Prime Video fantasy, with both the ents and Damrod appearing. Although, probably one of the most exciting additions for fans of Lord of the Rings is Shelob.
The giant spider is an iconic J.R.R. Tolkien character who is the offspring of the legendary arachnid Ungoliant. Fans of Peter Jackson’s films may remember the spider best too from its attack on Sam and Frodo on their way to Mordor.
The version we’ll meet in The Rings of Power season 2 is no less terrifying. This time around, she’ll be causing issues for Isildur, who you’ll remember was last seen trapped in Mordor at the end of season 1. Speaking to GamesRadar+ at San Diego Comic-Con, actor Maxim Baldry teases just what this version of the iconic spider will be like.
