Sandman Already Proved Its Lucifer Casting Backlash Is Ridiculous

Sandman Already Proved Its Lucifer Casting Backlash Is Ridiculous

Not only does Gwendoline Christie have the blessing of The Sandman’s creator, but she also looks amazing in the role. Christie has also delivered iconic performances as Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones, Captain Phasma in the J.J. Abrams Star Wars series, and Commander Lyme in The Hunger Games, so she has more than proven she can take on complex roles within beloved franchises. Gwendoline Christie first appeared as Lucifer in the second The Sandman trailer, silhouetted with enormous wings, she then controlled fire and confronted Morpheus/Dream. In an IGN behind-the-scenes featurette, Christie commented, “I read The Sandman graphic novels, so I knew I simply had to be involved in this project because something truly unique was going to happen.” So naysayers to Christie’s casting can be reassured that she has not only read the source material but has great respect for it.

Although some audience members will be disappointed that Tom Ellis will not be reprising his role from Lucifer, they should not deprive themselves of experiencing a new interpretation of the character. The Lucifer TV series has ended, and it’s time for a new actor to take up the mantel of DC’s Lucifer Morningstar. A major theme of The Sandman comics is change, and if the audience cannot try something new then they are denying themselves the pleasure of being surprised by a good story before it even has the chance to be told. Gwendoline Christie’s love of the source material combined with Neil Gaiman’s blessing should reassure all who loved The Sandman comics that the new Lucifer will suit the series’ needs.
