Wonder Woman 1984 director Patty Jenkins has seemingly confirmed that Pedro Pascal will indeed be playing the villainous Maxwell Lord in the highly-anticipated sequel.
Jenkins
recently announced that the first trailer for the movie will premiere during Comic Con Experience São Paulo, Brazil on December 8, and she's followed that up with a Tweet which would appear to leave little doubt who the former Game of Thrones actor is portraying.
We still don't know how Lord will factor into the plot, but there are rumors that he will actually turn out to be a God in disguise (much like Ares in the first film), and Diana (Gal Gadot) will make a deal with him to resurrect Steve Trevor (Chris Pine). There's also a good chance that the ruthless villain will be at least partially responsible for transforming Barbara Ann Minerva (Kristen Wiig) into Cheetah.
All of that remains to be seen, of course, but we should get a much better idea of what to expect when the first trailer hits in December.
Wonder Woman 1984 hits theaters on June 5, 2020.
