Jamie Campbell Bower will play Celeborn and Glorfindel
Since it has been announced that JCB will play a high-born knight we all speculated about whether it was Celeborn or Glorfindel he'll be playing.
To be fair that description fits both Celeborn and Glorfindel. Both of them are royal family relatives and both of them are known to be soldiers.
Here's how Celeborn has been presented in the show :
- he's Galadriel's husband.
- he fought during the First Age wars.
- he died.
The third fact caused a huge backlash among fans because in the books Celeborn never died. So usually we tend to interpret it as 'Galadriel thinks he died but is wrong'
What if she's not wrong ? What if Celeborn really died ?
My theory is that Celeborn and Glorfindel might be merged as characters and that Celeborn will come back because he's been re-embodied after a short time due to his noble action in the First Age wars.
