In fact, one of the spiders is Sheelob, the big ol' creepy crawly who almost kills Frodo in The Return of the King.“I’m super excited about the fact we have Ents. These magical creatures helped shape my early childhood years. They are they to shepherd and protect the forest – it’s a cautionary tale,” said Ismael Cruz Córdova.The Stranger actor Daniel Weyman also teased a bit about what to expect from his mysterious character. “We have seen The Stranger not understand this power. Suddenly in season two he comes into the same area as Tom Bombadil and the tables turn. He seems him wrongfooted – seeing him spar and sing with Tom Bombadil is exciting,” he revealed.
