Pearly Soames is the main antagonist in the 2014 film, Winter's Tale.

He is portrayed by Russell Crowe, who also portrayed Noah.

Overview
Pearly Soames is essentially a demon in gangster's clothing. He is the boss of a gang that Peter Lake (the protagonist) is involved in. When Peter leaves the gang, Pearly makes plans to kill him. Later on, Pearly discovers that Peter has fallen in love with Beverly Penn and orders his men to capture the latter, but he is supernaturally limited to the burroughs of New York, which puts a damper in his plans. He then goes to his boss, Lucifer (portrayed by Will Smith) for access to the lake home, but Lucifer denies this. Pearly eventually finds Peter at the Brooklyn Bridge and head-butts him enough times for Peter to wind up with amnesia for a full century.

One hundred years later, Pearly discovers that Peter is still alive and sends his men to track him down. But in order to pursue Peter, Pearly winds up becoming mortal. Pearly is ultimately defeated when Peter stabs him with the "City of Justice" plaque, causing to Pearly to turn to ice.
