The upcoming "Lord of the Rings" series at Amazon has made its first casting decision.

Variety has learned from multiple sources that Markella Kavenagh is in talks for a role in the upcoming epic fantasy series. Details of Kavenagh's characters are being kept under wraps, but sources say she would be playing a character named Tyra.

Kavenagh is known for having previously starred in the sequel series to the Australian film "Romper Stomper" as well as for roles in the shows "Picnic at Hanging Rock" and "The Cry." She is repped by Silver Lining Entertainment.

'Tyra' is probably a placeholder name, and she'll actually be playing a Numenorean or maybe even a younger Galadriel.

I'm unfamiliar with her work but she seems like a solid choice?
A solid choice yes and seems to confirm the following rumour from Reddit a few months ago:

"Auditions are well underway for the show and I've been told that four names in an audition script are Eldien, Beldor, Aric and Tyra. These could likely be fake names for audition purposes or real names to be used in the show. Wish I could have found out more about the contents of the audition script."

Not familiar with her at all, but hey, it's great we're finally getting casting announcements.

Too bad Lee Pace already got used for Thranduil. Guy would be an amazing Annatar.
