Tom Bombadil will have a “different” role in The Rings of Power than in The Lord of the Rings

Tom Bombadil is the most enduring mystery from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. A jolly forest dweller, Frodo and his Hobbit friends first encounter Tom near the start of The Fellowship of the Ring, just after they leave the Shire. Tom apparently possesses great powers, but he’s not at all involved in the wider goings-on in Middle-earth. This immortal being just likes to hang out in the forest singing songs and spending time with his wife Goldberry.
