In Wonder Woman 1984, Pedro Pascal joins the ranks of those playing DC Comics villains with his role of Maxwell Lord. This cinematic take on the character who has appeared in comic books since 1987 and in various animated forms along the way does not have any identical counterpart in those mediums. Pascal plays a unique version of the character (in part because of is definitive performance which spares no drop of enthusiasm) as the script reinvents Max Lord for the big screen. Still, Pascal did his homework, as he is very familiar with the various iterations of Max Lord in comics.
