Hitler! Stalin! Ming The Mercyless! Names that live on in the annals of infamy. There’s no denying it; people love a good villain, and remember them too! So why are so many of them..well… a bit shit? We run through some of cinema’s baddest muthas and discover that they really aren’t all that great! In fact, most filmic menaces are a bunch of yakkety idiots with nothing better to do – it’s The Worst Villains In Cinema!
Rumblings in the outback today; and if E! Online is to be believed, they could just be the sound of a Mark IV Interceptor revving up – quite possibly with Ex-Captain Picard Tom Hardy behind the wheel.
George Miller is certainly gearing up for a fourth crack at the Road Warrior, and with Gibson apparently too old or too rich to return as Max Rockatanski, Hardy – who’s brutal turn in Bronson may have caught the director’s eye – is set to fill the post-apocalyptic biker boots –with female support from one Charlize Theron.
While her acting chops may not match Hardy’s, Theron certainly looked good in AEON Flux leather and is apparently the Happy Feet Helmer’s first choice for female lead, although whether this will be a sequel or yet another reboot remains a mystery.
What’s your opinion? Should Gibson return to the role that made him famous, could new blood reignite the franchise-or should it be left well alone?
