The Ghost of Christmas Future is a powerful and ominous figure who represents the future consequences of one's actions. He is usually depicted as a dark, skeletal figure with glowing eyes and a voice that echoes through time and space. In the 2009 version of "A Christmas Carol," the Ghost of Christmas Future is played by Simon Callow, who portrays him as a more sympathetic character than in previous adaptations. Instead of being a vengeful spirit, he is a compassionate guide who wants to help Scrooge see the error of his ways.
