Yep, I’m assuming Skywise is referring to the new Amazon Prime LotR series, which is boasting a diverse cast. Not sure what that means yet, but some folks are assuming black actors in roles as Elves, Dwarves, etc. While (common) Men in Tolkien’s world are assumed to be somewhat diverse (Easterlings and Haradrim, for example), I’m not sure he ever imagined it that way...
