Moni, dearest, a humble question if I may - but if the Queen could pick any genre of film to be the hero in would he have a preference? From what little bit he alludes to, it seems like he's been offered some action-adventure roles in the past and perhaps some period pieces (granted, as the villain)
May I ask your thoughts?

While I don't think he'd be opposed to taking action-adventure or even period pieces, I think it's something he'd kind of want to stray from. Even if it's a hero's role. Mostly because Neige dominates those roles. It's been that way for years, the petty side of Vil might accept such a role despite having something different type of hero role in mind simply to prove to everyone that he's more than capable of pulling off a hero role. He'd wanna do it just to show he's probably even overqualified, he's seen this play out so many times. He'd take a hero role even if it's not the most desired genre because it'd be a stepping stone, in his eyes, too. It'd probably be weird to him because again, Neige.
However, suppose a hero role is being offered to him (I like to think after he nails that first hero role even if it is probably not what he originally had in mind). In that case, I think he'd definitely go for that "underdog" hero. One that starts at the bottom. One that everyone is shutting down and denying, who has to go through the judgment of others and prove their worth; prove they're someone worth counting on. Method acting at its core, in this case, yes. But it's probably that role that really gets people to actually stop and think that Vil's really brushing up his skillset (despite him trying for years lol).
Even a hero role that is kind of more subtle, like a "hero" that everyone in the film looks to. Where the characters ask that hero/lead "what do we do now?" and it doesn't resort to him plotting the protagonist's downfall but it's him leading the cast to find a better solution. A hero that says "there's always a way, we just need to find it". Even a cunning hero, one that doesn't strictly play by the old handbook of heroes and kind of bends some rules but ultimately gets out of it with everyone safe
