In the movie V for Vendetta the main character is a man who goes only by the alias, V. With the help of a young lady he goes about his mission to overthrow a corrupt government after world war, sending out a reminder for viewers that doing the right thing is not always the same as doing what you’re supposed to do.
Costume designer for the film, Sammy Sheldon dressed V very stylishly and in a mask that makes him a very unforgettable character. A mask which is now very popular thanks to the movie though it already had a historical background. The Guy Fawkes mask and V for Vendetta have become synonymous with one another and the look is recognizable around the world making it an excellent costume choice for your cosplay events and costume parties.
British graphic novel artist David Lloyd is the man who created the original image of the mask for a comic strip written by Alan Moore.
“The Guy Fawkes mask has now become a common brand and a convenient placard to use in protest against tyranny – and I’m happy with people using it, it seems quite unique, an icon of popular culture being used this way,” he says

The Power of V: My Experience Cosplaying as V for Vendetta
Last year, I had the pleasure of attending a cosplay party in London dressed as V for Vendetta. As a fan of the film and graphic novel, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase my love for the character in a physical form.
The party was attended by nearly 100 people and the atmosphere was electric. The moment that stood out to me the most was when I, as V, recited the iconic “Remember, remember the fifth of November” speech.
“Remember, remember the fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.”
The crowd was captivated, and it was a powerful moment to see so many people united in their appreciation for the character and his message.
In that moment, I believe that everyone in the room felt a sense of camaraderie and connection. The character of V and his message of freedom and individuality resonated with many of the attendees, and it was wonderful to see so many people expressing their love for the character in their own unique way.
For those planning on cosplaying as V for Vendetta, my advice would be to pay attention to the details. The iconic mask and costume are integral to the character, so it’s important to make sure that your outfit is as accurate as possible. Additionally, I would recommend memorizing some of V’s most iconic lines to really immerse yourself in the character and bring him to life.
Overall, cosplaying as V for Vendetta at that party was a truly memorable experience. It was a powerful moment to see so many people united in their love for the character and his message, and I would highly recommend the theme to any cosplay enthusiast looking for a unique and impactful costume.
