Latest Clip For Netflix's THE SANDMAN Introduces Mark Hamill as As Merv Pumpkinhead

Netflix’s THE SANDMAN is gearing up for a premier this Friday but before the series begins to join your binge list, we have a new clip from the series introducing fan-favorite Dreaming custodian Merv Pumpkinhead, who will be voiced by Mark Hamill.

It was only recently learned that Star Wars legend Mark Hamill would provide the voice of Mervyn Pumpkinhead, and we get our first look at The Dreaming's surly custodian here as he arrives in the castle to inform Lucienne of some concerning activity... only to be confronted by a rather vexed Morpheus.

"There is another world that waits for all of us when we close our eyes and sleep — a place called the Dreaming, where The Sandman, Master of Dreams (Tom Sturridge), gives shape to all of our deepest fears and fantasies. But when Dream is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for a century, his absence sets off a series of events that will change both the dreaming and waking worlds forever. To restore order, Dream must journey across different worlds and timelines to mend the mistakes he’s made during his vast existence, revisiting old friends and foes, and meeting new entities — both cosmic and human — along the way."

The Sandman also stars Kirby Howell Baptiste as Death, Boyd Holbrook as The Corinthian, Donna Preston as Despair, Stephen Fry as Gilbert, Mason Alexander Park as Desire, Charles Dance as black magician Roderick Burgess, and Sanjeeve Bhaskar as Cain. Joely Richardson will play Ethel Cripps, while David Thewlis will take on the role of her son John Dee, aka the deranged Dr. Destiny.

The 10-episode first season of The Sandman will adapt the first two arcs of the Neil Gaiman penned Vertigo comics series, "Preludes and Nocturnes" and "The Doll's House."
