Next-generation moviegoers enjoy both protagonists and antagonists. In fact, in recent years, villains have gotten more attention than heroes. It began with Heath Ledger’s outstanding performance in The Dark Knight Rises, which overshadowed Christian Bale’s.
It sparked a wave of unconventional performers playing villains and making history, such as Joaquin Phoenix in Joker, Josh Brolin in Avengers, Tom Hiddleston in Thor, and others.
The success of a film is undeniably dependent on its star, but the film can also make headlines for its villain, who dazzles the audience with their portrayal. Postoast has compiled a list of the most popular supervillains, who are even more popular than the stars.
