Adrian Veidt

Adrian Veidt is a character in HBO’s Watchmen portrayed by Jeremy Irons. He used to fight crime under the name Ozymandias, but he retired from heroics to become a businessman. However, his master intelligence and business skills led him down a villainous path. Deciding to “save” humanity from nuclear annihilation, he plotted a fatal alien invasion. Adrian and Dr. Manhattan made a deal that he would erase his memories in exchange for a utopia under the care of the clones of Mr. Phillips and Ms. Crookshanks. For the costume, drape the purple fabric over the bodysuit and secure it with the gold belt.

Scar from The Lion King

Scar (voiced by Jeremy Irons) is the main antagonist of the classic Disney film The Lion King.  Scar is the brother of Mufasa, the ruling king, who seeks to take power from his brother and nephew in this animal twist on Shakespeare’s Hamlet.  Scar is lankier than his brother, with a dark mane and a scar over his left eye.  There are two ways you could approach this costume.  First, you could purchase a Scar mask and pair it with the lower portion of another lion costume if you’d like to go for a literal interpretation of the character.  Otherwise, don’t be afraid to get creative with a wild black wig, some scar putty, and dangerously long nails for a more interpretive take on this iconic villain.
