Villain Overview

THERE IS NO HOME! There is only here. And here, your ship belongs to me.
~ Captain Gutt's most famous quote
That mammoth has taken my ship, my bounty, and now the loyalty of my crew! I will destroy him and everything he loves!
~ Captain Gutt vowing revenge on Manny for stealing his ship

Captain Gutt, or simply known as Gutt, is the main antagonist of Blue Sky's 7th animated feature film, Ice Age: Continental Drift, the fourth installment of the Ice Age franchise. He is a Gigantopithecus who proclaims himself as "Master of the Seas", as well as the captain of his own pirate crew. He is also Manny's arch-nemesis and Shira's former boss.

He was voiced by Peter Dinklage, who also played Simon Bar Sinister in the 2007 Underdog film adaptation, Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones, Bolivar Trask in X-Men: Days of Future Past, Eddie Plant in Pixels, Roman Lunyov in I Care a Lot, Scourge in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts and Dean Highbottom in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

Appearance[]

Captain Gutt is a huge, slender, muscular Gigantopithecus with dark black fur that appears to be greying in spots, a shaggy gray beard, long jagged claws, a white stomach, a pink muzzle, brown eyes, and disgusting yellow teeth. He has a long, upturned tuft of fur on his head that resembles a pirate captain’s tricorn hat as well as other long areas of his fur resembling pirate clothing.

Personality[]

Captain Gutt is an extremely prideful, autocratic, disrespectful, manipulative, charismatic, and egomaniacal ape. Captain Gutt hides his deceitful and easily-provoked nature through an amiable facade he first presents to Manny in an effort to win over the favor of him and his friends. However, this presentation frequently covers an aggressive, destructive, murderous, sadistic, greedy, callous, and cruel ape who is more than willing to treat his own crew as disposable and goes to any length to harm Manny, seeking excessive means to try and kill him. However, Captain Gutt rescued his crew prior to the events of the film, suggesting an (although barely) implied softer side that most likely has died well long ago. Therefore, one could argue that he used to be more compassionate and let greed and bitterness bring out the worst of him.

Captain Gutt seems to be incapable of not having everything his way and will fly into a rage if he is defied or fought against in any way. He also has no genuine loyalty towards his crew; he only sees them as nothing but simple pawns to achieve his goals. Even towards his crew, Captain Gutt is a bully who prefers to rule by instilling fear, shown by how he constantly threatens and abuses them (especially Flynn) and even heartlessly and vindictively abandons Shira to drown. And over the course of the film, he develops a deep-rooted and obsessive grudge against Manny - a grudge so powerful, that Captain Gutt eventually resorts to attempting to kill Manny's family without an reason but only by revenge and failure intolerance.

Unlike the other Ice Age villains, he has no redeeming qualities. This hints that he might be less confident than he lets on and embraces his own cowardly bully nature as long as he gets his way.

Trivia[]

  • He is the second Ice Age villain to be truly evil, following Soto, the main antagonist of the first film, as Cretaceous and Maelstrom and Rudy, the main antagonists of the second and third films, were predatory animals who (while persistent) were merely acting on instinct, while both Soto and Captain Gutt were acting on personal motives. However, while Soto cared for his pack to some extent and wanted to kill the baby because the humans wiped out most of his pack, Captain Gutt only cares for his own well-being and can be considered to be more evil.
    • Plus, Captain Gutt and Soto were the only villains in the franchise to be betrayed. Both traitors become supporting characters of the next films.
  • He appears to be based on the legendary pirate Captain Blackbeard.
  • Captain Gutt was initially written as a cave bear, but the filmmakers had problems with designing and animating him, hence the species change.
  • Captain Gutt is a Gigantopithecus, which scientists believe to be the largest ape that ever lived. Even though Gigantopithecus is a relative to orangutans, he is quite similar to a gorilla as he also appears to have claws (which gave him his name) and his canine teeth are molar-like, unlike real-life apes.
  • Captain Gutt is the only Ice Age villain so far who mentions Manny's name. Soto from the first film does not know him as he meets Manny at the climax while Cretaceous, Maelstrom and Rudy are silent predatory animals while Gavin and Orson were not true enemies of Manny, just Buck.
  • Captain Gutt is Peter Dinklage's first voice acting role.
  • Although Captain Gutt is referred to as a monkey several times, he is an ape instead of a monkey.
