by I will use Pro-wrestling terms.. Babyface=hero, Heel = villain
If you are an actor and you had been babyface all your career, sometimes you will get bored of your career and wish you can play villain. So these actor decided to heel it up and play villain.
We mostly know Chris Evans as Captain America but he also played Human Torch. His nerdy looks made him typecast for hero roles. When he got offered the Gray Man, he shaved his beard but keep his mustache to have that rapist look and play his first villain role in decades. He really enjoyed torturing Ryan Gosling because he got tired being good for a decade. He is a natural babyface so him going heel seems to give him a good time.
I said in decades because this is his first villain role:
When Chris Hemsworth is not Thor, He is either an action star or a romantic lead. This is him playing a Psycho in Spiderhead. He really had fun playing evil here.
Priyanka Chopra is always a good girl in Bollywood movies. She is a protagonist when she debuted in Hollywood too with Quantico. She wanted to play a villain who will die. So in Baywatch the movie, she play villain and Dwayne The Rock Johnson killed her. I think any actor will want to be killed by Dwayne The Rock Johnson in movie, especially if you are the final boss.
There are actors who never played villain roles that I want to see play villain and die on screen. I might list them down later.
