THE DWARVES
Owain Arthur as Durin IV and Sophia Nomvete as Disa
What can you tell us about Durin and Disa?
◆ Owain Arthur: Durin IV is a prince, a son, and a father, and we come across him during the golden age of Khazaddûm in Middle-earth. Life is good. He's a very happy, proud, loving, passionate - and stubborn - Dwarf.
◆Sophia Nomvete: Disa is the first female Dwarf that we will ever see what an honour it is to play wonderful, beautiful Disa. She's a powerhouse and a force of nature who cares so much about her home and her people, and also possesses some incredible magical powers as well. She stands alongside lovely Durin to work for the best possible outcomes for Khazad-dûm.
How does Durin feel about being heir to the throne?
◆ Arthur: There are the pressures you might expect - the expectation of what my father wants me to be, what I feel is my duty, what I should do, what I shouldn't do... Do I follow tradition or do I think out of the box? The prospect of becoming king is pressure on Durin, but he is actually looking forward to it.
◆ Nomvete: I think Disa sees this as an opportunity to change the direction of politics and the people of Khazaddûm. She wants a sense of freedom, and she absolutely wants the best for her people and for her husband. She is just rooting to take this moment by the horns, and to use all the power that they will inevitably have for good.
What we've seen of Khazad-dûm so far looks incredible. What was it like to turn up for work there?
