20 Secret Movie Villains EVERYONE Saw Coming
16. Evelyn Deavor - Incredibles 2
Incredibles 2 writer-director Brad Bird apparently thought he was being pretty slick by revealing that the villainous Screenslaver is actually the "benevolent" tech genius - is there such a thing? - Evelyn Deavor (Catherine Keener).
But considering how many folk swiftly noticed that Evelyn Deavor sounds a whole lot like "Evil Endeavour," it was easy to assume that she was going to be the Big Bad.
Even accepting that Bird tried to bait-and-switch audiences by positioning her brother Winston (Bob Odenkirk) as the more typical secret villain, a lot of viewers quickly saw through this and knew who was really under the mask.
As it turns out, Winston knows nothing about his sister's actions and has an entirely earnest motivation - he's just a superhero fanboy who wants to rehabilitate their tarnished image.
Incredibles 2 is still a decent enough Pixar sequel, though its big reveal was thunderously predictable even for the standards of the ever-expected Disney surprise baddie.
