Amazon's adaptation introduces Tolkien's enigmatic character, played by Rory Kinnear, to its high-budget series.

Tom Bombadil, a beloved yet mysterious figure from Tolkien's lore, will appear in the Amazon series.
The character, known for his whimsical nature and ancient origins, was omitted from previous film adaptations.
