Gwendoline Christie was made a star by Game of Thrones, confirmed that stardom as Captain Phasma in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi but her role as Lucifer in the Netflix adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s DC Vertigo epic The Sandman will confirm her epic status when it arrives sometime in 2022.
Gwendoline Christie has starred in everything from Game of Thrones to Disney’s Star Wars sequels, one of The Hunger Games movies and Russell T Davies’ Wizards vs Aliens.
She’s hasn’t been seen on screen for a little while but now she’s making a comeback in Netflix’s big adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s classic The Sandman, playing none other than the ruler of Hell, Lucifer (not that one).
A poster for the series that debuted at DC’s FanDome event over the weekend – Warner Bros is producing the show for Netflix – showed us what the actress is going to look like in the role, and we’re a little unnerved by her ice-cold stare.
Christie looks almost cherubic with her curly hair and pale face, with the shadow of her wings framing her face so that you can’t help but look at those piercing eyes.
