In which fantasy film did Max von Sydow play a villainous character?

  • Flash Gordon

  • Harry Potter

  • The Hobbit

Answer

In the 1980 science fiction film Flash Gordon, Max von Sydow played the villainous Ming the Merciless. This was a departure from von Sydow's usual roles, as he was often cast as a hero or a wise mentor. However, he brought his own unique charisma to the role, and helped to make Ming one of the most memorable villains in cinema history.
