Built to be Bad – The 14 Most Jacked Movie Villains of All Time (with Photos)

In honor of release of Spectre, which stars November cover star Dave Bautista as Mr. Hinx, we’ve compiled a list of the biggest, baddest guys to light up the silver screen. How did we come up with these? A scientific (fake) method of size, strength, ripped, and evil metrics were used on a 1-7 scale. Enjoy!

Bane – Dark Knight Rises

English actor Tom Hardy needed to pack on muscle for multiple roles in his career, but none more so than when he played Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. The 38-year-old Hardy put on 30 pounds to play Batman’s nemesis in the 2012 film.

Xerxes – 300

To play a no-nonsense Persian king named Xerxes in 300, Rodrigo Santoro needed to whip his body into shape; mind you right after shedding close to 40 pounds for his role in The Last Stand.

Deckard Shaw – Furious 7

The bruising Brit Jason Statham is never one to play a menacing criminal, but he did so as Deckard Shaw in Furious 7 to great effect. A former champion diver, Statham is adept at losing weight and bulking throughout his 15-plus year acting career.

Ivan Drago – Rocky IV

Initially turned down for the Ivan Drago role in Rocky IV because he was too tall, Dolph Lundgren refused to take no for an answer and eventually landed his first major role on the big screen. To improve his body and boxing skills for the part, Lundgren underwent intense training in the weight room and the ring.

“We trained six days a week—weights in the morning for about an hour, then boxing in the afternoon. We did a split of chest and back one day and then shoulders, legs, and arms the next. We boxed for an hour and a half, practiced the fight choreography, and did bag work and abs,” said Lundgren.

King Pin – Daredevil

Daredevil gets more than its shre of hate, but not for its casting of Kingpin. We’re not sure what was more magnificent and intimidating, Michael Clarke Duncan’s frame or his voice.

Bolo – Blood Sport

If you’ve watched any good 20th century martial arts movie, chances are you’ve seen Bolo Yeung grace the screen. A former Mr. Hong Kong bodybuilding champion, Yeung utilized his skills — and physique — in combat to garner over 80 feature movie roles.

Mr. Freeze – Batman & Robin

Arnold Schwarzenegger always plays the hero, so it was “ice” to see him camp it up with a barrage of cold pun one-liners as Mr. Freeze. His character was probably the only redeeming quality for what was easily the worst big-budget comic book movie ever made. Other actors in the film, including George Clooney, publicaly lamented doing it, but Schwarzenegger, never one to take himself too seriously, keeps his Mr. Freeze costume one display in his home.

Daniel Lugo – Pain & Gain

Surprise! The Golden Globe-nominated, Lone Survivor actor Mark Wahlberg played convicted murder Daniel Lugo in the dark comedy-drama Pain and Gain alongside The Rock. Wahlberg had to put on 40 pounds of mass to play the self-centered, gym rat role.

Apollo Creed – Rocky I & II

Yeah they eventually became best buds down the road, but in the early days, Apollo Creed was no friend of Rocky Balboa. As the brash, cocky heavyweight champ, there was no love loss for Carl Weathers character in Rocky 1 and 2. But the trash talking, “Master of Disaster” could back up his words with his athletic prowess and 6’1” 210-pound chiseled physique.

Weathers further honed his physique in each of the first four movies, to the point where he more closely resembled a bodybuilder than a boxer in Rocky IV.

Simon Phoenix – Demolition Man

When Wesley Snipes’ murderous character is unfrozen in a future that can’t handle him, he wreaks havoc on an entire city and has a blast while he does it. And with those arms, it’s more like Wesley Pipes, amirite?

Marsellus Wallace – Pulp Fiction

A bad-ass crimelord with a nasty temper, Marsellus is one mean dude who uses brute force to take his enemies down. While not a very likable character, you can’t help but to feel for the guy during his hardship in Zed’s dungeon.

Paul Doyle – Pain & Gain

Hollywood superstar and former WWE champion The Rock usually provides laughs on the big screen and generally plays the part of the good guy. Though he was hysterical, and ripped, in Pain and Gain, the 43-year-old played a recently released convict, who gets dragged into a kidnapping and extortion scheme by Mark Wahlberg.

The Terminator

Fortunately for the human race, Arnold’s Terminator character did cross over from the dark side and take on the bad guys in the action-packed sequels. But in the original movie, the Terminator was one bad-ass villain who used his monstrous physique to terminate everything in his path. Along with an arsenal of ammo, Arnold Schwarzenegger was also packing some serious muscle under all that leather, which made him a most intimidating bad guy.

Mr. Hinx – Spectre

Former WWE champion Dave Bautista parlayed a career of rag-dolling foes in the squared circle into a villainous role in the latest James Bond film, Spectre, thanks to an impeccable body and an impressive turn in Guardians of the Galaxy.
