Apparently, this absolute morality argument isn't about whether something is «good» or «bad» or causes pain or suffering, it's about
abdicating any personal responsibility in making such a decision.
One assumes from his coveted «and X as Y» credit that the role will amount to a cameo, yet Malkovich actually has a sizable part as English's (and England's) arch enemy, a French industrialist who plans to get Queen Elizabeth to
abdicate the throne, be coronated in her place, and transform Great Britain into a prison colony, which will
apparently net him oodles of cash but, more importantly, allow his inner megalomaniac to run riot.
