Rings Of Power Fans Are Being SUPER Racist About This Casting..
Welcome back to Scene Focus, today on the channel we are going to be talking about Lord Of The Rings’ Ismael Cruz Córdova Reveals ‘Vicious’ Backlash Since His Rings Of Power Casting + other related news. Amazon Prime Video’s Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power marks the first time that the world was created by J.R.R. Tolkien has featured characters played by people of color. Among The Rings of Power cast is Ismael Cruz Córdova, an Afro-Latino actor who is playing the Silvan elf Arondir. Amidst the series' streaming success, Córdova has opened up about the "vicious" racist backlash he has received since being cast in the Lord of the Rings spinoff.
Ismael Cruz Córdova was cast as the first elf played by a Latino actor in the Tolkien franchise back in 2020 and, as the actor recently revealed, since he was attached to Lord of the Rings, he has had “pure and vicious hate speech” pour into his social media DMs “nearly every day.” During his interview with Esquire, he also said this: “I fought so hard for this role for this very reason. I felt that I could carry that torch. I made sure that my elf was the most Elven, the most incredible, because I knew this was coming… You can never use it as an excuse: ‘But elves don’t look like that.’ They didn’t, but now they do.” Ismael Cruz Córdova was raised in Puerto Rico and became a LOTR fan as a teen but, in order to see the DVD for Fellowship of the Ring, he had to work multiple jobs himself to afford a TV and DVD player. Twenty years later, despite the adversity the actor, who has also starred in Sesame Street, Ray Donovan, The Mandalorian and The Undoing, gets to be part of the first series set in the beloved world. Talk about a serious come-up. Finish this video for more Lord Of The Rings’ Ismael Cruz Córdova Reveals ‘Vicious’ Backlash Since His Rings Of Power Casting and other related news.
