Adaptations
In Ralph Bakshi's 1978 animated adaption of The Lord of the Rings, Elendil is only mentioned and not shown. Aragorn mentions that he carries the sword of "Elendil of Gondor", but his relationship with Isildur is not explored.
In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, Elendil is portrayed by Peter McKenzie. He appears in the prologue, where he is killed by Sauron. Though Aragorn uses his name as a battle cry, he is never identified with it while on-screen. However, in the third film, Aragorn mentions that Andúril (former Narsil) was "the sword of Elendil" when Elrond gives him the reforged blade.
