Movie's Most Memorable Villains
Some of the names that we will mention below are true icons of cinema in its most diverse genres. In some cases, what stands out is the role of the actor or actress who played them masterfully, but in others, not. It's all thanks to the script that created opportunities to make them big personalities.
Next, see five of these villains who won the “heart” or respect of many people.
Hannibal Lecter (The Silence of the Lambs)
To begin with, let's talk about a controversial and at the same time iconic: Lecter from the classic “The Silence of the Lambs”. In this case, the memorable and historic performance of the great Anthony Hopkins stands out, who played the cannibal and serial killer Hannibal.
Scar (The Lion King)
It's safe to say that Scar from The Lion King is probably one of the most memorable characters in animated films. Mufasa's ambitious brother who murdered him becomes a darling of the public mainly for his jokes and comic moments that made him so remarkable.
Alex DeLarge (A Clockwork Orange)
Still in the classics, we cannot fail to mention the character Alex DeLarge from “A Clockwork Orange”. Even after decades of the film's release, here we find a complex, funny, cruel and iconic individual who will not be forgotten for generations.
Darth Vader (Star Wars)
“Star Wars” fans feel that it is virtually impossible to hate Darth Vader. The villain of the saga has become a symbol of pop culture. Currently, there are even those who like to dress up as the character at events for fans of geek culture.
Miranda Priestly (The Devil Wears Prada)
We have a villain who aroused hate and love in movie fans around the world. Miranda Priestly was seen as the worst boss in the fictional world and who made her assistant Andy's life hell. Still, we were all delighted with Miranda's elegance, largely because of Meryl Streep's impeccable performance.
Léon (Léon: The Professional)
Finally, another assassin who is very likable is Jean Reno's Léon. This silent and lonely assassin takes care of a young orphan girl, Mathilda, whose family was killed by a corrupt policeman and his men. Léon teaches Mathilda everything he knows and helps her get revenge. Despite his line of work, Léon turns out to be a sensitive and kind man.
