Fan Casting Nicole Horne in John Woo's Max Payne

The cold, polished CEO of Aesir Corporation and the architect of the Valkyr drug operation. Horne is not a cackling supervillain—she's a ruthless businesswoman who orders murders between board meetings. She had Max's wife killed for witnessing a drug deal, viewing it as a "business expense." In the final confrontation, she fires a pearl-handled revolver and misses every shot, then dies of a heart attack mid-confession—a coward to the end.
