Seen this actor in several vehicles and I finally figured out which older actor he reminds me of: William Shatner.
* Harry Potter Goblet of Fire (Good film)
* Dr Who (Meh)
* Jessica Jones (Not for kids and the main protagonist is a lying drunken skank. The most nihilistic Marvel comic adaptation to hit small or large screen. Again, not for kids or pets. I would write more, but really, what's the point?)
In them Tennant's execution was sort of a "polished shatneresque." Not a bad thing in my book. Don't recall seeing him in any other films/teevee. I think Marvel kind of wasted him in the Jessic Jones show, as he was better than most Marvel antagonists in the big bux Marvel films where protagonists many times are about this complex:
"Why am I doing what I am doing? Because I am EVIL. And the BAD GUY! And with a super deep and growly voice like this, to include the melodramatic delivery, I can hardly play a protagonist. Mwuhahahahahaha!"
And to start this thread off right, I will include a tangent in the OP:
Which is the best antagonist Marvel has put on the big or small screen since, oh, 2000?

That's a hard one.
Top three off the top of my head- the Green Goblin from Spiderman 2002 because, Willem Defoe. Few people do crazy like Willem Defoe.
The Red Skull from Captain America because, Hugo Weaving. (And I like that he was completely over-the-top evil. Comic book villains OUGHT to be over-the-top evil.)
And lastly Loki, in spite of Tom Hiddleston. That devious, plans within plans, undermining everything even before coming out a obviously evil was well done.

What's the Shatner award for- overacting or drowning wife in a pool?
I'm lacking context ???

The best Marvel villain is whoever decided we must have 80,000 super-hero movies every year.

He was very good in Dr. Who.
He was absolutely brilliant in Broadchurch, both seasons.

Especially when they feel there must be transition movies to build up to later movies.
