Villains can often be one note and i would say in that case, it’s not fun to play the villain. it’s fun to play the villain if he a) has dimension and b) the villain gets to do all the things in the movie that in life he would get punished for. in the movie, you’re applauded for them if you do them with panache. and so that’s why it’s more fun to play the villain.
