Young Aragorn isn't happening. This is set in the second age, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before Aragorn is born.

They are being cautious AF with this show. That's a 4-5 month hiatus after filming only 2 episodes - not even the entire first season?
Good good. Plan that shit and get a good cohesive story before you rush into production. That's how you get the Witcher and Star Wars which could have used more time writing and planning a better story
Edit: also sad as hell about no will poulter...
Yep, and its probably this unconventional filming thing that produces the "scheduling difficulties" for Poulter.
So of the 5 cast announced so far all of them are white eh
Wonder if it'll follow the movies in that regard or if they'll finally have poc in middle earth

That makes a lot of sense. It's a bummer but I'm glad there diving deep into the story and figuring it out before they go forward more.

The Third Age begins when the alliance of Elves and Men defeated Sauron and Isildur inherits the One Ring, some 3000 years before the beginning of Lord of the Rings. The opening scene of Fellowship covered that.
This series is set before that in the Second Age.
I wouldn't be too worried about this yet. The casting calls so far have been asking for a lot of diversity. It remains to be seen if any of those are for prominent leading roles or merely background characters.
With the filming and hiatus I wonder if they'll release those episodes or wait for the whole thing. Release might garner some hype and talk while people wait for the next part of the season soon after. Filming and waiting just to release it all at once seems weird.
Beldor is most likely a code name for Elros, just as Neldor is a codename for Elrond. Those two were twins, one choosing to be mortal and becoming the King of Numenor and the other choosing immortality and the becoming the Lord of Rivendell.
Neldor is an anagram of Elrond, Beldor is gibberish though lol
Gibberish yes, but makes sense that he'd have a dual role. He seems to be the replacement for Will Poulter and you can't have a Second Age story without the twins.
Young Ned Stark being Elrond would be so ironic.
Powerful uncle raises his royal nephew that's been hidden away. They even all have the same coloring but that's mostly GRRM appropriating Aragorn's look for Jon Snow and Ned Stark.
I mean the Middle Earth universe is white as fuck at least on the Gondor/Rohan/Numenor side of things since they're meant to be Anglo-Saxons.
And while you could say that you could do anything in a fantasy world, Tolkien intended Middle-Earth to be our world and for that universe to become part of Anglo mythology.
Don't know if it was his 'acting' or just "this is my voice!" (Starlord), but this dude did a great job sounding like a young Sean Bean in GoT. Seems like an upgrade from Poulter.
If he's playing who I think he is, then he'll be around for a long, long time.

Despite being set in the Second Age, I'm sure Amazon is going to keep it feeling very familiar to the movies just for marketing and nostalgia. They aren't gonna risk making something that doesn't feel like Peter Jackson.
Much like Knights of the Old Republic in Star Wars land.

There was talk of it been in line with film canon when the project was believed to be about young Aragorn. That's no longer applicable.
Weta are not involved as far as anyone knows.
