You know, you can look at those photos and tell which one's will be hobbits and which ones will be elves.
Now look, I'm not trying to be dicky here but I have a question and it's an honest one, so just preemptively settle down.
The black actors. What/who will they portray?
I'm not a rings fan beyond the movies. No books, no fan theory stuff or whatever else.
Were there any characters in literature or whatever that would/could be a good fit for black actors?

Its been a couple of decades since I have read any material on the 2nd Age but I do not think Hobbits arrived until the 3rd Age.

In Tolkien’s work, and especially in The Silmarillion, men were mostly referred to collectively as Men without reference to their race. However, in LotR it was at least implied, if not openly stated, that the men from the South who fought with Sauron were black, so other races beyond white do exist in that world. I have no problem with them casting blacks or whoever else in this show as long as they do it in a way that makes sense. A multicultural Numenor would not jive with the source material, for instance.
