When we finally get her in the full Cheetah look, it actually works. The way she changes as the story goes on - she really dives into her story arch and I am here for it. Don’t get me wrong, I love Kristen Wiig, but she is a hilarious comedian - can she be a supervillain? I want to start off by saying she handles her character in Wonder Woman 1984 beautifully.

When I first heard about this casting it felt weird. Something that could have been handled so wrong, was done so well.

He plays such an important role in this story - more than I could have ever imagined. I won’t spoil exactly how he is back, don’t worry, but I do love having him back. Chris Pine does a truly fantastic job of looking around it wonder ( ha, no pun intended) of everything around him like escalators and subway trains. And while this is weird, it did sort of work. There is such potential for things like this to be weird, and not work. I was so worried about how they were going to bring Steve Trevor back. Merry Christmas to all of us fans! If you can see it on the big screen, and feel safe enough to do so, I suggest that ( wear your mask!), but if not, it will be just as satisfying at home. There is action, fan service, and a really decent plot at the heart of WW84 This Christmas, Wonder Woman 1984 is a must see movie. Kristen Wiig squishes all of my doubts of her as a villain and Pedro Pascal proves once again that this is his year. And you know what? I have to admit it was worth the wait.

Wonder Woman 1984 is a movie that I have been waiting a long time for. “(It's) a lot like the Mandalorian.”įollow AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr on Twitter: Woman 1984 is a movie that was very clearly made for the big screen, but it still delivers on the small one. which is such a mask with so much going on just beneath it, that contradicts so much what sort of physical message he’s portray with his persona," Pascal said. “Max Lord has such an exterior armor with hair products and power suits. He remembers being in initial talks for the role with Jon Favreau right before flying to London to film "Wonder Woman."Īnd although Max Lord and the mysterious bounty hunter couldn't be more different, there is a fairly poignant similarity that's not lost on Pascal. Since getting cast in “Wonder Woman 1984,” Pascal’s star has risen immeasurably thanks to the wildly popular Star Wars spinoff “The Mandalorian,” which just concluded its second season on Disney+. With an incredible attention to detail, she created suits for Max Lord that Pascal said were at turns “garish and sophisticated,” “colorful and stylish” and “just on the verge of obnoxious. But, he said, the Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming was a “magician” on “Wonder Woman 1984.” On the 1980s-set Netflix show “Narcos” Pascal even lobbied for his DEA agent character to wear more 1970s styles. “I felt like I (would) look stupid in baggy stuff.” “I’m not one to pull off an ’80s look very well, in my opinion,” Pascal laughed. He was, he admitted, a little nervous about the costumes though. “I still have trouble wrapping my head around the opportunity.” “I didn’t care what it was,” Pascal said. So when the chance to work with her again came up, he knew what his answer was going to be. In between the two films, they’d also crossed paths when Jenkins directed him in a pilot that never got picked up. Pascal had long been a fan of Jenkins’ work: He remembers seeing “Monster” in a Manhattan theater and having to wait until the credits played out to leave because he was crying so hard, and being especially moved by the No Man’s Land sequence in “Wonder Woman." There was something about Pedro that I knew he could hit every different mark and also reveal a side of himself I wasn’t sure that even he had gotten to use yet.” “But when I was sitting and thinking about who could pull this off, I just knew that he could do it. I thought he was such a great guy and such an interesting person and an excellent actor,” Jenkins said. It was producer Charles Roven, who he’d worked with on “Triple Frontier,” who initially called Pascal saying that Jenkins wanted to meet. “He’s an immigrant who is trying to live up to appearing to be his idea of the American dream,” Jenkins said. on Christmas Day, Max Lord is a divorced dad, minor television personality and wannabe oil tycoon whose wealth is mostly smoke and mirrors until he gets hold of a powerful, wish-granting stone. In the film, which debuts in theaters and on HBO Max in the U.S. “The thing that would ultimately anchor me to him was far more vulnerable than what a Gordon Gekko-type would be.” “What we went after was so much more unpredictable and exposed,” he said.
