Follow-ups/Corrections
Snyder Cut - Release date announced: March 18 21.
Sandman - Gwendolyn Christie cast as Lucifer. Why no Tom Ellis?
"The theology and cosmogony of Lucifer is a long way from Sandman's," Gaiman says. "It's 'inspired by' Sandman, but you can't easily retrofit the Lucifer version to get back to Sandman, if you see what I mean. It seemed easier and more fun to have the Sandman version of Lucifer be, well, much closer to the Sandman version of Lucifer." https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/the-sandman-netflix-series-casts-gwendoline-christie-tom-sturridge/
