Amazon Prime Video has released a new clip from its upcoming series The Wheel of Time, putting the spotlight on Daniel Henney's Warder character, Lan Mandragoran.
Lan was one of the first characters to be cast, but this is the first time he's been seen in action. In the video, he shows his skill as a warrior, fighting against a fiery background. His opponent can't be clearly seen but may be one of the bestial monsters of the series, called Trollocs. In a voice over, he says, "You think you know this world… you know nothing."
Henney shared the clip on his Twitter, saying, "For [The Wheel of Time] fans who are waiting so patiently (and for future fans as well) - here’s a first look at al’Lan Mandragoran - the uncrowned King of Malkier. I’ve loved every minute playing him thus far & we’re working tirelessly to bring you a fantastic show - stay tuned!"
Although Lan initially enters the story as an enigmatic and stoic swordsman who is known mostly for his unflagging loyalty to the Aes Sedai Moiraine, his tragic past and his relationships to other characters gradually unfold to make him a favorite of many readers of the the books that inspired the show.
While an official trailer has not been released, production videos with glimpses of footage from The Wheel of Time have provided fans with a look behind the scenes and introductions to some of the major players and items that will show up on screen when the series premieres.
First published in 1990, Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time fantasy series consists of fourteen novels, the final three of which were co-written by Brandon Sanderson following Jordan's death in 2007. The series, which follows a group of young villagers coming to terms with their own powers while being drawn into a worldwide conflict, is set in a world in which only women can wield the magical One Power without losing their sanity. It became a cornerstone of modern epic fantasy, known for its unique worldbuilding and expansive scope.
Executive produced and written by Rafe Judkins, The Wheel of Time stars Rosamund Pike, Josha Stradowski, Marcus Rutherford, Zoë Robins, Barney Harris, Madeleine Madden, Daniel Henney, and Michael McElhatton. A premiere date has not been announced by Amazon at this time.
