Everyone's favourite Flerken Goose may have stolen every scene he was in, but Ben Mendelsohn's Talos was equally as brilliant.

A through and through villain in the comics, Talos is reimagined in Captain Marvel as a rebel determined to free his people from the boot of Kree oppression, and he's incredibly charismatic while doing so.
