Game of Thrones star Robert Aramayo has been eyed to join Amazon's upcoming Lord of the Rings series.
Aramayo, who played a young Ned Stark on the HBO show, has been in talks to replace Black Mirror star Will Poulter, reports Deadline.
While there are no official details yet, Aramayo will supposedly play a young character named Beldor in a leading role.

The news comes after the announcement that Poulter can no longer star in the big-budget series due to filming other projects. The actor was cast just a few months before that.
Other names that have joined the cast include Game of Thrones' Joseph Mawle in a villain role and Markella Kavenagh has been rumoured to play a character called Tyra.
Former Hollyoaks star Maxim Baldry has also signed up for the series, but it hasn't emerged who he'll play.

Last year, Amazon confirmed that the spin-off series will be set in The Second Age, which means it will act as a prequel to Tolkien's original trilogy.
The show's supervisor Tom Shippey previously revealed that they will be limited only to that specific time period, since the author's estate doesn't allow for the new series to expand beyond The Second Age.
Lord of the Rings will air on Amazon Prime, with no confirmed release date yet.
