In a future "dystopia", prisoners housed in vertically stacked cells watch hungrily as food descends from above, feeding the upper tiers, but leaving those below ravenous and radicalized.
Eddie Redmayne, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Antonio Banderas, and others reveal which supervillain they'd most like to play.
