10 Best Movie Villains Of 2019
4. Kylo Ren - Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker
Star Wars has brought to life some incredible villains in the past, from Vader to Count Dooku, and of course the Emperor throughout the entire saga. The new trilogy introduced the latest in this line of strong antagonists in the form of Kylo Ren.
From his very first scene in the Force Awakens, Ren proves just how powerful and how strong with force he was, effortlessly holding a laser beam in mid air whilst carrying a conversation. Echoing the relationship between Darth Vader and the Emperor, Ren answered to Supreme Leader Snoke before killing him and taking his rank.
The conflict within Kylo, the battle between the dark side and the Skywalker inside made him one of the most complex villains in the saga. His mean streak and evil side were ever present, but when he took off his mask it was clear he was a confused child unsure of what he was supposed to do with the incredible power he had been blessed with.
Again, reminiscent of his grandfather's story, Han and Leia's son saw the error of his ways and turned his back on the dark side of the force. Adam Driver, one of the strongest actors working today, really played two characters throughout the saga, Kylo Ren and Ben Solo. The latter was always present, but only came to the surface fully after he was 'killed' by Rey and shared one last touching moment with his father.
