Here Are The Actors Behind These Famous Movie Villains

Captain Phasma

Star Wars: The Force Awakens made way for a whole new cast of characters, including one masked Captain Phasma. The character was originally meant to be male, and up until the last second, viewers assume that they are. Portrayed by Gwendoline Christie, Phasma is the Star Wars universe's first on-screen villain.

Despite the widespread fan appreciation for a female villain, Christie only had a few moments of screen time in The Force Awaken's follow-up, The Last Jedi. Since then, Christie has also been seen in Game of Thrones and Top of the Lake. She also stands at a staggering 6 feet 3 inches.
