18 Upcoming Villains Who Will Be More Interesting Than The Heroes
12. Walter Tressler - Now You See Me: The Second Act
The Heroes: The Four Horsemen an are a ragtag group of magicians who came together as a band of thieves to rob Michael Caine in Now You See Me.
The Villain: Michael Caine’s angry son, looking for retribution against the Four Horseman, portrayed by none other than Daniel Radcliffe.
Why The Villain Will Be More Interesting: It’s Harry freaking Potter trying to hunt down a group of magicians! It may not really as simple or exciting as that premise suggests but Radcliffe has cemented himself a legitimately talented actor and revenge-motivated villains can often be the most insane ones, as well as the most fun to watch.
With his mind seemingly on making the heroes pay for how they treated his father, it’s easy to assume that Tressler will go to any means necessary to deliver retribution. His perspective is especially interesting because the Four Horsemen are themselves, criminals. Regardless of their motivations, they did rob Michael Caine, so Walter is in an interesting position whereby he may be more morally justifiable than the heroes.
