Well, look what the stork brung. It’s Pedro Pascal in a suit in James Gunn’s DCU (too soon?). Let’s dial it back a few years ago when Gal Gadot was a part of the DCEU and Patty Jenkins was the director.
It was the year 2020 when Gal Gadot and Pedro Pascal starred in the DCEU filmWonder Woman 1984.Contrary to the number in the title,WW1984was a sequel to the 2017 filmWonder Womanand by all means, a failure.
Pedro Pascal To Join James Gunn’s DCU?
In the 2020 film, Pascal portrayed the role of Maxwell Lord, a shrewd enterpreneur who ends up giving people their dreams but… at a personal cost to each one.
The film ends with the world letting go of their desires and Maxwell Lord defeated. Since the film was considered a failure, Pascal’s role as Lord was actually forgotten by people (until now).

But on the other hand, it is too soon to confirm or deny that Pascal will indeed be reprising his role in Gunn’s DCU or not. Fans really hope that Pascal will return as Maxwell Lord but it entirely depends on Gunn and Pascal.
