There are few actors who I associate with heroic roles as much as Hugh Jackman.
His charismatic portrayal of P.T.
As if to further prove this point, Jackmans rare villainous roles have included some of his biggest flops.

The star had a blast playing these antagonists, but both movies were critical and commercial failures.
For me, this reinforced the idea that Jackmans best bet was sticking to heroic roles.
However, one ofdirector Christopher Nolans most underrated moviesreminded me this isnt necessarily the case.
Nolans movie audaciously reveals Bales character had a secret twin all along.
Angier’s take on the trick involved cloning himself nightly and killing a clone at each performance.
Thus, Bordens infamous Transported Man trick was nothing more than a pair of identical twins swapping places.
This, along with framing Borden for his murder, makes AngierThe Prestiges villain.
This shouldnt come as a surprise considering how good Jackmans other villainous roles are.
The Prestigeearned $109 million on a budget of $40 million upon its 2006 release.
