We meet before any of the reviews have dropped, but its not something of great concern to her.
Its this kind of level-headed, spirited approach that makes Boniadi the ideal person to bring Bronwyn to life.
Instead, she follows her heart, doing what she feels is right and best for her people.
Bonaidi and Cordova share a palpable chemistry on-screen as they enact their characters stolen glances and slight touches.
I think its quite magical that weve been cast together in this story.
Theres a deep understanding and connection there.
Boniadi also felt an instant kinship with her character.
Thats why sometimes I call Bronwyn the fantastical version of myself.
Bronwyn wants to redeem them and free them from the shackles of their past, Boniadi explains, intently.
I can relate to it as a human rights activist for my homeland Iran.
But she more than makes her appearance in Middle-earth known.
We must run, she says.
But the men in the local tavern dismiss her and ignore her pleas.
She then returns to the tavern to her naysayers, and slams the orcs head down on the table.
Its a standout moment, and one that shows just what Bronwyn is capable of, when pushed.
It was also incredibly enjoyable for Boniadi.
It was so satisfying to walk into that tavern and have that moment, the actor recalls.
Every one of them was worth it.
(The series has already been renewed for aSeason 2.)
What can she tell us of Bronwyns personal journey and her romantic future with Arondir, I ask.
That makes for a brilliant character.
And if youre driven by love, youll find a way through.
I love how she is both nurturing and extraordinarily strong-willed.
Sometimes, I forfeit my strength when I want to be softer and compassionate.
But you dont have to sacrifice one for the other, she deliberates.
I think women can beallof those things.
We dont have to apologise for being more than one thing.
