Sean Gunn cast as Maxwell Lord In the DCU

Per Deadline, the outlet has learned that Guardians of the Galaxy star Sean Gunn will play ruthless businessman Maxwell Lord in the new DC Universe helmed by James Gunn and Peter Safran.

Pedro Pascal previously performed the part in the 2020 film Wonder Woman 1984.

It's unclear whether Sean Gunn's Maxwell Lord will appear in Gunn's Superman: Legacy, which will be released next year. According to what I've heard, the character will be mentioned in the background of Legacy but will also feature in future DC productions. A similar concept will be seen for other characters in the new DC Universe's initial phase, Gods and Monsters: Chapter One. Keep an eye out.
