After McShane and Oldman, only Alan Rickman can voice the next villain.

I can't think of anybody else who could match the two incredible villains we already have.

McShane and Oldman are both legends,, and they both killed it.

Rickman also pulls of evil very well, and is generally a class-A actor.

Is there anyone else who could be just as good?

How about Jack Nicholson?

That's just weak songwriting. You wrote a bad song, Petey.

We already had one Harry Potter actor as a villain, so I'd say no for Rickman.

Maybe James Earl Jones? A don't rule out a female villain. Uma Thurman?

I wonder if the 3rd film should have a female character in the villain role, since it would be nice change of pace for the series.

Bill Nighy

You're right, Tilda Swinton could pull off a great villain. That would naturally lend to KP3 focusing a bit more on Tigress, too, which would be interesting.

Don't forget David Warner. I think Willem DaFoe could pull it off, as well.

I recently heard an interview on NPR with Alan Rickman. A caller asked if he'd ever consider voiceover work. He answered with an emphatic 'no.' So my guess will be that they'll find someone else. Jeremy Irons, perhaps?
