No Haradrim/Easterlings etc?

i personally have not seen a single still or info on any men. however toybiz is releasing a harad archer figure, some i guessing yes for them. i have heard or seen nothing about easterlings.
 
I think there will be, I mean, we already saw the Evil Men marching through the Morannon. I don't think he'd put them in that scene if he was not going to use them later. I never have been able to figure out if they were from Rhun or Harad in the movie :confused:
 
Dude, put on the subtitles! At least in my subtitles during the Morannon scene it says "[Easterlings yelling]" or something like that. So they are from Rhun. I don't know if there will be Haradrim and Easterlings and Variags and stuff, but they seems to have brought across a lot that Saruman bred the Uruk-hai. Therefore, as by the time of the Pelennor fields all Saruman's Uruk-hai will be destroyed, there shouldn't be any at the Pelennor. Rather, there will probably be more of the kinds of Orcs that you see in prologue. They're not as beefy, and are shorter and rounder faced. Just as ugly though.

Anyway, I hope that there will be some Evil Men at the Pelennor. Especially, as Khazad-dum said, as they showed Evil Men marching in the Morannon.

However, I see what you mean Inderjit, as in one of the special features (I think it's "Forces of Darkness", maybe it's the ROTK Trailer) it shows Peter Jackson and some CGI guy figuring out the battle formations of Sauron's forces at the Pelennor. The CGI guy always talks about how there's gonna be all these 'blocks' of Orcs, he doesn't say 'Sauron's forces' or anything like that. This might imply that there will only be Orcs. That would be really poor. But maybe the CGI guy hasn't read LotR and has no idea that in the books there are Evil Men.
 
In Return of the King when Grond breaks down the gates of Minas Tirith, you get about a quarter-second blur of Easterling-helmeted men rushing in. I've freeze-framed this a few times and since they are running in the background, they are indeed blurs, but I can make out the Easterling helmets on a couple of them.

By the way, the image under 'Haradrim' in the wiki is actually an Easterling.

It happens when I'm reading wikis and the list of threads appears. I don't pay attention that the last replies were over twenty years old. 😆
