International Rescue needs a recurring villain and The Hood will be filling that role (again). In the 2004 feature film, which will now hopefully be forgotten forevermore, The Hood was played with some success by Ben Kingsley. In Thunderbirds Are Go!, Andres Williams will be taking on the mantle. The Hood seems to be keeping up his obsession with disguises, appearing as only a blurry silhouette in the trailer. Because of his mastery of disguise, viewers will never be certain whether a new guest character is The Hood or not, until it's too late. One other thing seems certain about The Hood. He wants the Thunderbirds vehicles for his own ends, and he's not going to stop until he gets them.
