I think Narnia film adaptions has potential to have great villains. Then it comes to, how will films portray them? Most importantly, why should we hope for our heroes to overcome him with help from Aslan?

Obviously, we'll see another version of the White Witch and Miraz in The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe and Prince Caspian. But I'm sure that new film adaptions will want to portray them differently than the BBC and Walden. Hey, the world is being re-imagined, so it's fine.

Let’s hope they don’t have the Green Mist in Voyage of the Dawn Treader, like Walden did! I know it’s almost traditional to have a villain but Voyage of the Dawn Treader doesn’t need one!

In The Silver Chair,  Eustace and Jill think that the Lady of the Green Kirtle is a nice person. Puddleglum is actually suspicious of her! I think there's a way for the audience to wonder "Can we trust her?" or "There's something not right about that woman!"

In The Horse And His Boy, Prince Rabadash is childish, yes, but probably should not be too childish! I think they can have him visit Cair Paravel and be courteous and kind and gracious as he appeared to be. Then later, watch him reveal his true nature. I think that could make an interesting twist.

In The Last Battle, it's the whole thing about manipulation. Shift manipulates Puzzle, then he gets manipulated by Rishda and Ginger. Perhaps in a movie, the Calormenes could show up, and Rishda could say, "We come in peace! We do not intend to make war!" I think Shift, Rishda, and Ginger should be portrayed as subtle.

I think most importantly, it will come down to where we'll want our heroes to put their trust in Aslan even in the midst of evil that they encounter and we want good to prevail in the end. 

So how should Narnia film adaptions portray the villains and what are ways we can hope for our heroes with help from Aslan to overcome them?
