Results: Steve Lockjaw
*Spoiler Alert* if you have not seen the movie
From an AI source:
Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw is the main antagonist of the 2025 film One Battle After Another, portrayed by Sean Penn. He is a corrupt U.S. military officer tasked with deporting undocumented migrants, who becomes obsessed with a revolutionary named Perfidia Beverly Hills and later attempts to join a white supremacist secret society called the Christmas Adventurers Club.
Lockjaw's character is defined by his hypocrisy and insecurity; despite his racist ideology, he fathered a child with Perfidia and desperately seeks validation from the very group that despises his interracial relationship. His performance is noted for its physicality, including a stilted, robotic walk and a distinctive haircut, culminating in a third-act disfigurement from injuries sustained during his pursuit of the film's protagonists.
Role: Main villain and corrupt military colonel.
Actor: Sean Penn.
Key Traits: Racist, manipulative, obsessed with status, and physically imposing yet internally pathetic.
Fate: He is inducted into the Christmas Adventurers Club under false pretenses, only to be fatally gassed and cremated by the club leaders to protect their institutional reputation.

Sean Penn won an Oscar for best supporting actor for this role. I watched "One Battle After Another" recently and honestly believe the movie would be unwatchable without this character. If you have not already watched this movie, are you interested in watching it?
