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.
