Your Favorite Hollywood Villains In Real Life

No television show or movie is complete without a villain. These characters can scare you, creep you out, or simply make you dislike them. The actors and actresses who play these roles aren’t scary at all though. Here are your favorite villains, and what they look like in real life.

Thor: Ragnarok’s Hela

The Thor franchise has seen many different villains, but Australian actress Cate Blanchett is one of the most memorable. She plays Hela, the warrior goddess who is Thor’s sister. In real life, Blanchett is known for her shining golden hair.

The movie gave her the chance to embrace her dark side, and go full emo for the role. She said it was a great time to fully explore her darker side, for the role.

Splice’s Dren

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if a human’s DNA was spliced with a variety of different animals, then Splice is a movie you should watch. The creation, named Dren, is played by Delphine Chanéac who completely embodies this strange creature. The director wanted Dren to appear humanoid, so that audiences felt more empathy for her.

While her face does appear to look female, the rest of her body is pretty far from being human. She had wings, and oddly jointed legs. A geneticist was used to ensure that Dren looked as close to a scientifically spliced human as possible.

Guardians Of The Galaxy’s Thanos

Thanos is one of the most recognizable villains in the Marvel universe. If you have seen Avengers: Endgame then you know why. American actor Josh Brolin, played Thanos in the Marvel films that he appears in.

As Thanos is an alien, Brolin did not need to spend a lot of time in the makeup chair. CGI did a lot of the work, but Brolin’s basic facial features were incorporated into Thanos’ CGI’d face.

X-Men: First Class’ Azazel

This bright red villain, which has the ability to teleport, was played by Jason Flemyng. Azazel, as he was named in the film was a tough character to get into.

It would take roughly four to six hours to paint him red, add a tail, and a wig. After all of that makeup, sometimes he would only be on set for a couple of hours.
