The 10 Most Gorgeous Female Movie Villains (5 of 6)

Harley Quinn — Suicide Squad (2016)

Margot Robbie plays Harley with so much chaotic energy and comic-book flirtation, she’s making people second-guess their morals. You know she’s bad for you, but maybe that’s okay. Maybe you can change her. Before you know it, you’ll be out on the streets with your head bashed in and still think to yourself—”totally worth it.” Harley Quinn is pure pop-villain spectacle. You’re not supposed to root for her, and yet somehow… here we are.

Hela — Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

Marvel gets flak for generic villains that fans forget in T minus “yup, already forgot,” but Hela is different. Cate Blanchett turns the Norse Goddess of Death into a wrecking ball that’s about to bring the end of the world. She doesn’t just want power; she enjoys every second of getting it, twirling that cape like a matador and slicing through armies like they’re just CGI puppets. All in all, a terrifying but weirdly arousing dommy-mommy.
