Director: Jeremy Warner
After their boss Beatrix dies, two hapless henchmen inherit nothing but a crumbling hideout and her unfinished plan for world domination in Villains Inc., a 2024 comedy directed by Jeremy Warner.
What is Villains Inc about?
Cain and Harold, left broke and living out of an abandoned grocery store, decide the only way forward is to finish what Beatrix started. With no funding, no real plan, and even less experience running a criminal operation, the pair improvise their way through recruiting allies, scaring up resources, and figuring out what taking over the world actually requires day to day. The comedy leans on the gap between their grand ambitions and their limited means, turning supervillainy into a scrappy, low-budget hustle rather than a slick genre exercise. Along the way, their loyalty to each other, and to Beatrix's memory, keeps getting tested by how badly the plan keeps going.
Cast & crew
Mallory Everton and Jason Gray lead the cast as Cain and Harold, backed by a supporting ensemble that includes Colin Mochrie, Billy Mann, Jeff Bryan Davis, Joe Bereta, Charla Bocchicchio, and Gabriel Casdorph. Jeremy Warner directs, keeping the tone light even as the duo's plans spiral further out of control.
Context & significance
Villains Inc. sits in a small tradition of comedies that flip the superhero formula around, following the also-rans of a fictional criminal underworld instead of the heroes who usually get the spotlight. Released in 2024 and running 102 minutes, it plays as an ensemble comedy first, built around banter and mismatched personalities rather than large-scale action. The cast draws heavily from sketch and improv backgrounds, which shapes the film's loose, scene-by-scene sense of humor.
