If you've seen the first trailer for Wonder Woman 1984, there's a good chance you're still wondering what the deal is with Maxwell Lord. Although we finally get to see the character, there's not much to know about him just yet. Luckily, Gal Gadot has shared some interesting new details about the villain played by The Mandalorian's Pedro Pascal.
Gadot and director Patty Jenkins recently attended the 2019 Comic Con Experience where they presented the trailer (via Cinemablend). In addition to that, the Justice League actress admitted she enjoyed working with Pascal on the sequel.
"I had many different fun moments working with him, but I can only say that the most memorable one, probably that I can really talk about, is in the beginning of the movie," Gadot said. "When Diana Prince meets Max Lord, let's just say she's never met anyone like him before. That's all I can say."
So how does Max manage to make an unforgettable first impression on Diana? Jenkins explained that it's all part of the mystique of what the character has to offer.
"Max Lord is a character very much of the time period the movie is in, he's the King of Infomercials, and he's selling a dream to the public, and he'll do anything to be successful," she said. "But sometimes when you get what you want, greatness comes with a price. So that's Maxwell Lord."
It sounds like this guy is going to be a truly memorable baddie. We can't wait to see more of him next year.
Wonder Woman 1984 will premiere on June 5, 2020.
