The dossier
The black sheep of the Thrombey family
Ransom Drysdale has never worked a day in his life. He masks his deep resentment for his family behind a facade of bored, effortless cool, viewing the entire murder investigation as a highly entertaining game of chess.
Chris Evans completely sheds his heroic Captain America persona for the role. He brings incredible, venomous charm to Ransom, delivering some of the film’s most iconic and deeply insulting lines with absolute glee.
He is the perfect modern whodunit villain. Ransom represents the toxic, unearned entitlement of generational wealth, proving that the most dangerous monsters often wear perfectly tailored cable-knit sweaters.
