Gwendoline Christie is assuming the role of Lucifer Morningstar in The Sandman series on Netflix. Here&#039;s your first look at her character.

Fans Stoked on Seeing Gwendoline Christie as Feminine Lucifer Morningstar in Netflix’s Sandman:  &#8220;I want this angel of death to come and&#8230;&#8221;

Years of waiting for a The Sandman live-action series have finally paid off. The
streamer revealed first look images and footage of Lucifer and she’s a beauty.
Instead of Tim Ellis, Gwendoline Christie (Star Wars, Game of Thrones) is
playing Satan in the Netflix live-action. A female Lucifer has thrown off the
fans and they can’t have enough of her. Well, no wonder Gaiman didn’t want to
create the show in a hurry. For a show that delves into all the fantastical
elements of the DC universe, it’s only right that the creators take their time
to do justice to the series. 


FIRST LOOK AT GWENDOLINE CHRISTIE’S LUCIFER ON SANDMAN 

We get a proper look at The Sandman’s elusive character Lucifer Morningstar for
the first time in the Netflix Geeked trailer. Although she appears for a few
short seconds, her wings and flaming braziers will catch your eyes. It looks
like she is presiding over her Kingdom in Hell, where Dream or Morpheus visits
her. In the next scene, we see her walk over to Dream and ask him, “Are you
well?” If the show is true to the comics then it’s the scene where Dream has
visited Lucifer’s realm to bring back his helm. It is one of his missing
artifacts. 



In another Twitter Update, we see Lucifer in an all-black outfit. The light
shines over her causing her blonde hair to look even more contrasting with her
black outfit. The Renaissance painting type hairstyle emphasizes that she’s an
ancient being.

WHY WAS GWENDOLINE CHRISTIE CAST AS LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR?

Interestingly, Netflix also carries a Sandman spin-off, Lucifer.
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/lucifer/] Tom Ellis plays the titular character
in the show. Lucifer has masculine features in both the shows and in the comics.
Although the two shows share a connection, there is a rights issue. Plus
Lucifer focuses less on the mythological aspect of the series and is more of a
crime procedural show. Moreover, instead of “retrofitting” the Lucifer version
to The Sandman, it was better to cast

a new face, Gwendoline Christie.
