Sean Gunn has been cast to play the role of Maxwell Lord in James Gunn’s DC Universe. This marks Sean Gunn’s third role in the new shared DC Universe, having previously been confirmed to reprise his role as Weasel from “The Suicide Squad” in the upcoming “Creature Commandos” animated series.


In the DC Comics, Maxwell Lord starts as a businessman and philanthropist aiming to control the Justice League. While his initial intentions seem heroic, he eventually becomes a villain for the Justice League and particularly Wonder Woman. There is uncertainty regarding Sean Gunn’s specific appearance as Maxwell Lord in upcoming DCU projects, but the character is expected to be referenced in “Superman: Legacy” and could potentially appear in other titles within the DCU.
