The 10 most sinister villains of modern cinema

Villains throughout the cinema of the late 20th century were nasty individuals indeed, from Die Hard’s Hans Gruber to Speed’s Howard Payne, these figures cast a dark shadow over proceedings, making the most melodramatic action movie as enjoyable as possible for audiences. Although similar antagonists exist in modern cinema, many people consider contemporary villains to simply not be as sinister. This is undoubtedly due to the watered-down villains of modern franchises, with the Marvel Cinematic Universe constantly shoving out watered-down antagonists for earth’s mightiest heroes to battle.
