Mr. Barron is the main antagonist of the 2016 fantasy film Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
He was the leader of the Wights and Hollows and Jake and Abe's arch-nemesis. He is based on Dr. Golan from the books; however, unlike in the book, his real name and his alias as psychiatrist are swapped: While in the book, Dr. Golan is his real name, here, his real name is Mr. Barron and Dr. Golan is his psychiatrist disguise instead. Other differences include the gender of his psychiatrist disguise. Whereas the character's psychiatrist disguise in book is male, in film the gender of said disguise is female instead.
He was portrayed in his main form by Samuel L. Jackson, who also played John Mills in Twisted and Frank Tenpenny in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. In his disguises, he was portrayed by Asa Butterfield (In Jake's form); Rupert Everett (in John Lamont's form) and Allison Janney (in Dr. Golan's form).
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- He uses Ymbrynes like Miss Peregrine for his immortality experiments.
- He murdered countless innocent Peculiar children and ate their eyeballs in order to change back to human after his first immortality experiment turned him into a Hollow.
- He is sadistic and likes to taunt his potential victims before killing them.
- He mocked Jake over his grandfather's death, which Barron indirectly caused.
- After convincing Miss Peregrine to do what he says in order to spare Jake's life, he left him and other Peculiars to be devoured by a Hollow anyway, which in the end they managed to escape from.
- While not outright abusive, he is indifferent towards his fellow Hollowgasts' deaths and problems, as shown with Malthus.
- Despite the fact that he has several laughably moments, these don't detract of his villainy, as he is still taken as a threatening monster.
