For Wise, a self-confessed Tolkienist and lifelong fan of “The Lord of the Rings” movies, playing Héra is a “deeply meaningful moment.”“I love the films.
It wasn’t until the launch of the Amazon Originals series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power ” in 2022 that the franchise introduced female protagonists to TV screens, with characters like Galadriel and Bronwyn stepping into leading roles.
“The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim" debuts in theaters on Friday.
As an ancestor of Éowyn, Héra naturally invites comparisons to the character.
“‘I am no man’ is Éowyn’s final big line, and I think Héra really embodies that spirit,” Wise said.
