The DC Universe is having many of its early casting choices revealed, with one recent announcement recasting a character who had previously appeared in the DC Extended Universe. Sean Gunn — the brother of DC Studios creative lead James Gunn — will be portraying Maxwell Lord, though it’s unknown where the character will make his debut. Some fans are in contention as to the casting, but it’s worth noting that Lord isn’t always the one-note villain that he’s been portrayed as for nearly two decades.When he debuted in the comics, Maxwell Lord was actually a good guy who, despite his somewhat grating persona, was a staunch ally of the Justice League. In fact, he was a key backer for a particularly comedic take on the team. This casting choice can actually bring that version of the team into the DCU, and it can likewise redeem Lord from a fairly controversial movie appearance.Maxwell Lord isn’t the only DC role that Sean Gunn has played, however. In James Gunn’s 2021 movie The Suicide Squad, he played both Calendar Man and Weasel. He’ll reprise the latter animalistic role in the animated series Creature Commandos, along with the mechanical soldier G.I. Robot. Given that Creature Commandos is the first true DCU project to come out, it means that Maxwell Lord will only be Sean Gunn’s third role in the shared universe. Conversely, it will easily be his most important, though there’s a lot more to Maxwell Lord than some realize.
