He was incredibly mean to a pure-hearted bear in “Paddington 2,” tried to take command of a fantasy kingdom in “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” and portrayed a surly Oompa Loompa in “Wonka.” And now actor Hugh Grant gets downright evil in “Heretic,” the latest addition to his villainous career turn over the last decade.
