I've always wanted to see Zooey Deschanel as the standard Manic Pixie Dream Girl... only at the halfway point to be revealed as some Ax Crazy serial killer.
She may have already done this, but I also have a slightly perverse interest in seeing Amber Benson play a really mean bitch character or some type of evil scientist.

The closest thing Amber has done to playing a villain was voicing an evil vampire version of Tara in the "Chaos Bleeds" Buffy game for Xbox. One of the bonus features on the disc is her doing the V/O and she seems to be enjoying doing the evil vamp voice a little too much.
As for Zooey, that's nearly so perfect I'm not sure it's possible she HASN'T done it before, although I'm pretty sure she hasn't. She'd be a great bad girl.
You wouldn't hit a girl, would you?
I Am The Walrus
I've been writing an idea for a movie about a girl set up by a gang leader and sent to a teenage detention center headed by a sadistic warden.
The person I have in mind for the warden? Jennifer Connelly.

I think the world needs an action thriller pitting Natalie Portman against Keira Knightley.
Just don't know which would work better as the villain.
Another Perfect Day

A remake of Face/Off.
Sneering Imperialist
Christina Hendricks as a megalomaniac villain.*
With cannon shot and gun blast smash the alien. With laser beam and searing plasma scatter the alien to the stars.

AWESOME choice! Its amazing that Connelly has never played a bad girl her whole career, she'd be perfect for a role like that.
Either would be GREAT, I'd prefer Knightley for the part.
YES x 1 BILLION. When you say megalomaniac, do you mean some kind of evil queen/empress bent on World Domination, or a Screw the Rules, I Have Money! Gordon Gekko type corporate overlord with lickspittles doing her bidding while she eats bonbons? 
Keep 'em coming, these are all great.

Either works

I like the way you think!
Occasionally Smart
Jewel Staite, because nobody would see it coming.
He's like fire and ice and rage. He's ancient and forever. He burns at the centre of time. Rory punched him in the face.
Hurr
Zooey Deschanel
Emma Stone
Chloe Moretz.

Emma would be fantastic since she has a really caustic, bitchy wit and a great mind on her. I could see her as a really cocky villainess quite easily.
Chloe would have to be really badass to be taken seriously, I think. Sort of like her role in Kick-Ass, but a villain. She'd be great though.
Jewel Staite technically played the Alpha Bitch in the Honey I Shrunk the Kids show, so she's been a "villain" before.

I Am The Walrus
Emma Stone is just a younger, snarkier version of Julia Roberts. Her as a villain would get boring after a while.

The fact that she's smart, sassy, and snarky is exactly what would make her great. YMMV.

I'm glasses.
You're crazy. Emma Stone is a hundred times cooler than Julia Roberts has ever been or ever will be.

Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember them, you are not alone.
I Am The Walrus
She plays the same character in every movie she's in (the goody-two-shoes that knows everything), just like Roberts. Roberts played a villain in My Best Friends Wedding and it was boring. Stone as a villain would probably be just like that.

Kat Dennings.
... That's currently all I got.
The Final ECW Champion
Melina Perez. If she got some notoriety on the big screen Triple H might consider bringing her back.
Modified Ura-nage, Torture Rack
Azor Ahai
I've had this idea, not sure how it would be explained, but have Dennings' character in the Thor / Marvel Cinematic Universe films end up becoming the Enchantress. I could definitely see her getting along well with Loki.

My ideas that, as a writer, I plan to actually go through with sooner or later:
- Monica Bellucci as a vampire assassin who has an orgasm every time she kills someone (adaptation of my own literary work, which is as-yet unfinished; and yes, all the vampires are Italian, and yes, they love garlic).
- Summer Glau as Asami (but probably modified to English... Amy, maybe?) in an American remake of Audition.
- Faith Ford as a Depraved Bisexual Big Bad for the Myth Arc of a TV series idea I have.
-Zooey Deschanel: As said Borne Again, Zooey Deschanel could perfectly fulfill the role of Bait the Dog villain.
-Emma stone: Alpha bitch, The Vamp.
-Amy adams: Affably Evil/ Faux Affably Evil, Bait the Dog, Manipulative Bastard,
-Scarlet Johansson: The Vamp, The Baroness.
Has Angelina Jolie played a flat out villain yet? If not, her.

"Super" or otherwise...
Anyone have any? I always see threads talking about male actors people want to see go against type and play bad guys, how about the ladies? Any women you think would be so good at being bad?
