The literary fantasy universe created by J.R.R. Tolkien has been adapted in many mediums and with the success of the film adaptations of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit by New Zealand director Peter Jackson, interest in this franchise has only grown over the last 20 years among both audiences and studios. Many people would dream of living in this universe or at least playing a role in a film or a series, as this wrestling star testifies today, who would very much like to play in an adaptation of Beren and Lúthien.
wants to go from Ring to Ring
Since the end of the two successful film trilogies The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, Tolkien's universe has been adapted in mediums other than cinema: in video games with Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor in 2024 and Middle-earth: Shadow of War in 2017, but also more recently in series with the billion-dollar series produced by Amazon Prime Video The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, the second of which is currently being broadcast. The public will return to Middle-earth by the end of the year in the cinema with a very promising animated film entitled The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim, whose trailer promises us a bold and grandiose proposal of the world of J.R.R. Tolkien, before giving way to a live-action feature film directed by Andy Serkis (Gollum) with the working title Lord Of The Rings: The Hunt For Gollum, retracing the adventures of Aragorn and Gandalf who set off to the search for Gollum.

It is in this context of the great return of the Middle-earth universe in audiovisual productions that the wrestling star Lyra Valkyria spoke about her strong desire to play in an adaptation of Beren and Lúthien, during an interview for ComicBook.com on the occasion of her arrival in the wrestling competition video game WWE 2K24:
Oh my god yes, no matter the role! I always found that the story of Beren and Lúthien was magnificent.
This famous wrestler is a big fan of the universe of J.R.R. Tolkien and who knows, if her desire is heard by the studios and they manage to recover the adaptation rights to Beren and Lúthien, we may see her playing an iconic figure from Middle-earth.
