Lord is a powerful businessman in the comics and one of Wonder Woman’s main villains, so it was pretty obvious that he would show up at some point in time.

As for the character, sources close to the Wonder Woman 1984 production team, Maxwell Lord will not have superpowers in the movie as he does in the comics. It has also been reported that Pedro Pascal’s take on the character will be more “hammy” than the version in the comic books.

In addition to Lord has been confirmed for the sequel, speculation about the resurrection of Steve Trevor will more than likely spark up again. It is believed that Lord is on the hunt for magical artifacts to help him become a god and that Barbara Ann Minerva helps him at first, before being transformed into Cheetah.
