Nolan Sorrento is the main antagonist of the 2018 live-action film adaptation of Ernest Cline's 2011 science-fiction novel Ready Player One.

He is the CEO of Innovative Online Industries, which desires to achieve absolute control over James Halliday's OASIS by finding Halliday's Easter egg in the contest the OASIS' creator left behind after his death. Sorrento is the superior of F’Nale Zandor, I-R0k and the Sixers as well as Wade Watts' arch-nemesis.

He was portrayed by Ben Mendelsohn, who also voiced Killian in Spies in Disguise.

His Evil Ranking[]

What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]

  • When OASIS creator James Halliday died, he made it his mission to gain control of the OASIS no matter what for 5 years or so.
  • Has mercenary i-R0k stalk Wade/Parcival within the OASIS after he found the first clue, and got his identity from him
  • Offered Wade money to reveal the location of the first key and after Wade refuses, Nolan reveals he knows who Wade is and threatened him that no one will care about an explosion in some “ghetto town”.
  • Has drones sent to Wade’s house in Columbus to plant bombs and blow it up which kills Wade’s aunt Alice and her douche boyfriend Rick and presumably some other people.
  • When Wade is kidnapped by Art3mis/Samantha and taken to her base, he has his subordinate F’Nale Zandor raid the base and kidnaps Samantha but Wade gets away with the help of his friend Aech/Helen.
  • Unleashes a magic force shield around the third clue so no one other than himself or his sixer army can get the final key (which is later disabled by Samantha).
  • Makes Samantha a slave in the Oasis at the IOI Loyaltry center with hundreds of other people to do forced work by planting explosives in the base and has her electrocuted in the real world if she doesn’t do her tasks and she is unable to escape or log out due to the headset being locked on her head.
  • Tried to bribe Wade's Henchman.
  • Fights in the battle between IOI and the rest of the OASIS in a Mechagodzilla suit.
  • Searches through his sixers to find Samantha who disguised herself as one of them.
  • Fights Wade within the OASIS again and has I-R0k restrain his friend, but still offered Wade money.
  • Unleashes a catalyst bomb within the OASIS in an attempt to stop Wade which gets him, i-R0k, and everyone killed in-game.
  • Has Zandor and other mercenaries try to kill Wade and his friends in the van.
  • Tries to crash the van himself.
  • After being confronted by everyone in Columbus for destroying a building he pulls out a gun and threatens anyone who attacks him.
  • Opened the van door and was about to shoot Wade and everyone else.

What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]

  • He has a slight sense of honor as when he opens the van door to shoot and kill Wade and his friends, he sees Wade has already got the egg, after that he refrains from shooting & accepts his defeat then the cops show up and arrest him.
  • Has some comedic moments like trying to relate to Wade but failing miserably, being kicked in the balls by Wade within the Oasis and still feeling that in the real world, or his defeat of being punched by Zandor in the cop car, although given how he is taken seriously in-universe makes this minor.
