I took a quick look at the scripts (as far as the process has been taken) to get a sense of what we're looking at casting-wise. I'd like to dedicate a thread in this subforum to listing the characters of the season that haven't already been cast. I'm talking big and small roles, but please: if you post a comment adding a character, say someting about the size of the character.
In episode one, we seem to have a Maia of Námo. They just appear in one scene, so I don't intend to include them in casting talks unless someone specifically says that's important.
Vanwa (an elven spirit). Not sure casting is needed.
Baragund
Belegund
Beren
Gorlim
Inglor, Edrahil
Zirak
Old Thrall (has one scene in e1, no casting)
Newcomer (has one scene in e1, no casting)
Gil-galad
Finduilas
Guard (Three scenes in e1, but I think we'll avoid casting unless someone really loves this character)
Scene 13 Kinslayer (has one scene in e1, no casting)
Farastar Elf, a young captain
Estel (in the FRAME)
Gilraen (in the FRAME) Listing her here in case we want a recast (if not, we use Alicia Vikander with ageing effects)
Troll (no casting)
Gorgol the Butcher
Refugee Elf (assuming no casting needed)
Scout (assuming no casting needed)
Rían
Eilinel
Crows (listed in script, I assume no casting needed)
Gwindor
Wolf/Dog Characters who are present but do not speak: (Huan) (Nidhôl) (we have a Huan voice thread. I'm assuming Nidhôl doesn't need casting?)
