Yeah, it's Satan. At the Q&A I was at Mel talked about that at length. Satan is actually played by a woman in the movie, but he tried ot make her appear as androgynous as possible, and I think he suceeded at that. I reallly liked the idea of having a visual of Satan tempting Jesus in the Garden of Gethsamene. I also thought it was cool to show him yelling in defeat when Jesus died.
