10 Movie Villains Who Will Kick Ass In 2019

1. Pennywise (It: Chapter 2)

The opening moments of It: Chapter 1 - which saw Pennywise bite off a child's arm and drag him down to his death - made it very clear that this is a villain with no mercy, no compassion, and no conscience. And there's something chilling about a bad guy you just can't reason with.

Although the movie is based on a book - meaning we do know what Pennywise will get up to, barring any slight deviations or major changes - Bill Skarsgard's creepy, twitchy portrayal of the demonic clown still makes him feel unpredictable at every turn.

The actor was able to take a character who most people will be familiar with from an admittedly dated TV mini-series, and turn him into one of the most iconic movie monsters of the modern age (racking up some impressive box-office numbers along the way). And that's a testament to how frightening Pennywise really is.

Yes, Thanos is powerful, and yes, the Skrulls are devious, but at least there's still a chance you could get through to them, reason with them. But Pennywise's bloodlust knows no bounds, and he's going to absolutely wreck shop in It: Chapter 2, if the first movie is any indication.
