We
are
aware
that
Battalions
of
Orcs
have
played
key
roles
in
the
franchise
of
The
Lord
of
the
Rings,
and
the
creators
behind
The
Lord
of
the
Rings:
The
Rings
of
Power
are
inclined
to
showcase
the
creatures
even
more
due
to
the
response
it
has
received.
Amidst
the
preparation,
we
have
managed
to
get
an
exclusive
first
look
at
some
of
the
interpretations
we’ll
see
throughout
the
forthcoming
series.
Looking
back
to
the
series
when
towards
Tolkien’s
First
Age,
the
Orcs
were
demolished
nearly
to
the
point
of
extinction
in
the
War
of
Wrath.
Since
the
highly
anticipated
The
Rings
of
Power
will
be
taking
place
in
the
Second
Age,
we
will
meet
the
creatures
as
they’re
scattered
across
Middle-earth.
Thousands
of
years
before
they
become
the
earth-shattering
force
that
helps
level
the
realms
of
elf
and
man,
Orcs
are
low
in
numbers,
down
on
their
luck,
and
fighting
for
survival.
To
get
a
better
understanding
of
what’s
in
store
for
the
fans
when
The
Lord
of
the
Rings:
The
Rings
of
Power
arrives
on
Prime
Video
in
September,
head
of
The
Rings
of
Power’s
prosthetic
department
Jamie
Wilson
and
executive
producer
Lindsey
Weber,
both
prolific
minds,
says,
“Well,
I
love
Orcs,”
Weber
starts.
“I
love
creature
design,
so
I'm
very
happy
to
talk
about
this
stuff.
JD
and
Patrick
—
the
showrunners
—
the
very
first
page
of
their
bible
was
about
Orcs.
They
have
a
real
passion
for
them,
they
love
practical
prosthetics
and
design,
and
they
felt
that
they
needed
exploration
given
that
this
is
the
Second
Age
and
thousands
of
years
before
the
events
of
the
Third
Age.
It
was
really
important
to
them
to
treat
them
as
their
own
culture
and
explore
their
world
on
its
own
two
legs
in
its
own
right.”
Talking
about
what
it
means
to
be
an
Orc
in
the
Second
Age
“It
felt
appropriate
that
their
look
would
be
different,
part
of
a
wilder,
more
raw,
Second
Age,
Middle-earth,
closer
to
where
the
First
Age
ends.
As
we
meet
them,
they're
not
yet
organized
into
armies,
they're
a
little
more
scattered
and
they've
been
scavenging.
So
it's
just
a
different
time
in
their
total
story”,
says
Weber.
