Bill Skarsgard, 33, takes on the role of Eddie Barrish, a carjacker who finds himself trapped in a high-end vehicle during one of his attempted thefts. Despite his criminal activities, Eddie is depicted as a decent person who deeply cares for his daughter, Sarah.

Known for his portrayals of villainous roles, such as Pennywise in the It franchise and Marquis in John Wick: Chapter 4, Skarsgard's role in Locked stands out, as he transitions from playing the torturer to becoming the tortured. His other notable works include Nosferatu, The Crow, and Nine Days, among others.

Anthony Hopkins as William

The eloquent sociopath William in Locked is portrayed by 87-year-old Anthony Hopkins, who makes only a brief appearance in the film. The character introduces himself to Eddie over the phone before subjecting him to physical and psychological torture.

William’s control over the rigged car is absolute, completely isolating Eddie from the outside world. At one point, he reveals that his motivation for becoming a vigilante in his final days stems from the murder of his daughter by a street-level criminal, driving him to deliver his twisted form of justice.

Hopkins’ portrayal of William is defined by an absolute lack of empathy. The Academy Award-winning actor is well-known for playing villainous roles, most notably as Hannibal Lecter in the 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs. Over nearly six decades, he has starred in more than 66 projects as per IMDb, with his recent works including Freud’s Last Session, The Son, Armageddon Time, and The Two Popes, among others.
