We’ll finally catch our first real glimpse of Amazon’s anticipated, The Rings of Power, The Lord of the Rings TV series, this Sunday February 13th, during the Super Bowl.

Amazon doesn’t specify when the video will air during the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals game, according to Variety.

The TV show’s eight-episode first season stars Peter Mullan, Benjamin Walker, Trystan Gravelle and more. Back in January, Amazon released 23 different posters showcasing the hands of the actors featured in the series. The Rings of Power is the most expensive TV series ever, with the first season costing $465 million USD (roughly $589 million CAD).

The series’ plot follows the creation of the original rings of power and takes place thousands of years before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings films and books.

James McAvoy Denies Rumours

According to FemaleFirst, Scottish actor James McAvoy denies that he has been asked to play the main character, Bilbo Baggins, in The Hobbit.

Recently, a rumour got out that he was the chosen favourite to star as the famous Hobbit in director Guillermo del Toro’s next two films.

McAvoy, who is currently filming The Last Station, said, "I’m a huge fan of the Tolkien saga, everything to do with Middle Earth. But no, there’s no truth in the fact that they’ve approached me yet."

After the riveting success of the trilogy, The Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit is predestined to triumph as well. Pre-production is set to begin at the end of the year in New Zealand.

James McAvoy can next be seen in the film Wanted on June 27, opposite Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman.
