Tom Sturridge's Morpheus wears the Helmet of Dreams in a new image from Netflix's live-action adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. Based on the comics written by Gaiman and published by DC, the series was developed for the streaming service by The Dark Knight trilogy's David S. Goyer, Wonder Woman's Allen Heinberg, and Gaiman himself.
Two-time Tony nominee Tom Sturridge leads The Sandman cast as the character who goes by a few names, including Morpheus and Dream, alongside Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer Morningstar, the ruler of Hell. The show's ensemble cast includes Boyd Holbrook as The Corinthian, Charles Dance as Sir Roderick Burgess, Jenna Coleman, David Thewlis, Stephen Fry, Patton Oswalt, and Mark Hamill.
In The Sandman comics, the Helmet of Dreams serves as one of three symbols of Morpheus' power, along with the sand pouch and the Dreamstone, though the helmet acts as his primary sigil. Like Morpheus himself, the artifact goes by a few names, including Dream's Helm, Mask of Dream, or Dream's Sigil. The mask-like helm was crafted by Dream from the skull and spine of a god eons ago, though he lost it when he was captured by the charlatan occultist, Sir Roderick Burgess.
Based on this new look at the Helmet of Dreams in Netflix's The Sandman and a few that have come before, it appears the adaptation has remained faithful to its beloved source material in this regard. The distinct artifact was translated from the comics art into live-action about as straightforwardly as possible, which is expected considering Gaiman's direct involvement.
