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 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.
