He did, but Marvel's Gabriel (if Lucifer is a "Marvel villain" then clearly Gabriel a Marvel hero, they're like peas in a pod) set him straight.
So, I wasn't wrong he looked like something out of Marvel? ;)

The film isn't actually that bad. It's kind of dumb, somewhat boring, with a biblical story for a hook (and therefore mild religious controversy to drive marketing hype), but the performances are fine, the cinematography is fine, the dialogue is mostly fine, the plot is... well... the plot, with a dumb twist ending, but for the most part it hits the narrative beats you'd expect if you've read the book. It doesn't deserve to earn any awards, but I wouldn't nominate anyone involved for a Razzie either. There are worse ways to kill a couple of hours, and (obviously) better.

I didn't really see it, but that's just me. I just think that if one of them is Marvelous then so is the other, because they're very similar in appearance and wardrobe. I'm kind of surprised that they didn't fully lean into it and use the same actor for both roles, to emphasize that Lucifer is a fallen angel.

Pretty sure both of them were playing by the same actor with different makeup, which is the impression I got anyway. Once you get a good look at them together when Mary first gets ambushed by Lucifer, it becomes apparent. They're kind of a mirror of each other in that way.

I checked the cast info and it was two different actors, but the characters were clearly meant to different sides of the same coin to some extent, the angel and the fallen angel. Gabriel was played by Dudley O'Shaughnessy and Lucifer by Eamon Farren.

Huh, interesting, as they did look eerily similar.

And now a counter to my complaints about Mary, I highly recommend the Christmas animated movie 'That Christmas'. Absolutely beautiful and charming with loads of heart and Christmas cheer. This one was a delight.
