10 Movie Characters Everyone Thought Were Secret Villains
10. Mr. Nobody - Furious 7
As overjoyed as fans were to learn that Kurt Russell would be joining the Fast and Furious franchise as shady government agent Mr. Nobody, it was also tough to believe that an actor of Russell's range and charisma would simply be playing a stuffed shirt support character for the Family.
Nobody is presented as having ambiguous allegiances throughout the movie, and when Dom (Vin Diesel) and the other heroes secure the film's techno McGuffin - the God's Eye - for him as promised, it feels like a betrayal is only inevitable.
Once they hand the God's Eye over, most watching were surely expecting Nobody to try and take the Family out in order to tie up loose ends, setting up a wild third act where the Family face off against Nobody and his massive array of resources.
But instead, Nobody keeps his word, agreeing to help Dom and company hunt down Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), as they ultimately do.
On one hand it was a relief not to see Nobody become a double-crossing scumbag, but on the other it probably would've given Russell a bigger, more animated, and considerably more badass role.
