Here Are The Actors Behind These Famous Movie Villains

Amphibian Man

The Shape of Water was notoriously one of the weirder films to surface over the last couple of years. One of the two main characters, Amphibian Man, is a nightmarish looking fish-man that actually makes viewers feel deeply sad for him. The idea for the creature is based on a sketch done by director Guillermo del Toro and is played by Doug Jones.

Hela

Thor: Ragnarok's villain, Hela, is a devious, gothic-inspired villain who spent years in imprisonment under Odin's rule. Played by Cate Blanchett, this role isn't one of her typical performances. She pulls off playing Loki and Thor's enemy with surprising ease. Blanchett is known for taking on more elegant roles, such as those in Carol, Blue Jasmine, and Knight of Cups. However, she did play an elf in The Lord of the Rings franchise, which is one of her more whimsical roles.
