Gwendoline Christie utilized the time of pandemic in understanding the personality of the biggest devil of Hell Lucifer.

Gwendoline Christie on How the Pandemic Helped Her Dwelling on the Character of Lucifer in ‘The Sandman&#8217;

From playing an honorable knight to taking the role of a fallen angel Gwendoline
Christie underwent a transformation. The Sandman brought her as Lucifer, the
figure of folklore, who is the biggest evil ever known by mankind. We saw the
first glimpse of the character in episode 4 when Dream and Matthew visit Hell.
His journey to retrieve his helm from a devil leads to a showdown between
Lucifer and him.



The more gentle Lucifer’s words seemed the more devious intentions she had. The
actress looked remarkable embodying darkness and becoming the queen of Hell. And
she loved taking on an antagonist character which was entirely different from
her previous role. Let’s see what the actress has shared about her experience in
understanding the sovereign of devils, Lucifer.


GWENDOLINE CHRISTIE GOT TO UNDERSTAND LUCIFER IN THE PANDEMIC

Christie plays an infernal character in the Netflix adaptation of Gaiman’s
graphic novel The Sandman. Viewers saw golden-haired Lucifer Morningstar draped
in shining robes

giving a wicked smile to Dream.

“Lucifer is isolated and I think something that we’ve all felt during this time
is that isolation is also a terrible disease, you know?” said

Gwendoline.

The actress got the role when the pandemic started so she meditated on the
character deeply. She connected with Lucifer

saying perhaps loneliness has made him wicked.

HOW DID THE ACTRESS COME TO PLAY SUCH A VARIED CHARACTER FROM BRIENNE?

Gwendoline Christie’s Brienne was a beloved character who served her kingdom as
a valiant warrior. Incredible at dueling with a stern look on her face, she was
always rejected by the people. However, she was good at heart and could do
anything to secure the honor of the House of Tarth.

However, her character in The Sandman [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-sandman]
walked through sin and treachery in her realm. Deviating from a positive path
directly to doom was something challenging for the actress as she was trained by
Harry Alexander to bring out that posture of a devil. She practiced all the ways
how a devil moves and talks because Lucifer was not human.

How do you like the Lucifer of The Sandman
