In Pixar’s Cars 2, which character is revealed to be the film’s main villain?

Sir Miles Axlerod is revealed as the main villain of Pixar’s Cars 2.

Axlerod presents himself as a former oil baron who has converted to electric power. He organizes the World Grand Prix to promote Allinol, a supposedly clean alternative fuel. The film later reveals that he is secretly behind a plot involving weaponized Allinol and remote-controlled race cars.

The villain’s scheme is designed to discredit alternative fuel by causing cars using Allinol to malfunction or explode. Axlerod ultimately uses a bomb connected to Mater’s tow hook, but Mater and the British agents uncover the plan before it succeeds.

Cars 2 also features Professor Zündapp, who works as an antagonist, and the British spy Finn McMissile, who is a hero. Chick Hicks, the rival from the first Cars film, does not serve as the villain of Cars 2. Michael Caine voices Finn McMissile, while Eddie Izzard voices Sir Miles Axlerod.
