Hypothetical-supervillain movies-which one would you greenlight

With the Suicide Squad coming up, do think the market is there for full blown villain movies? Kind of the answer to saturation of heroes?
Could the General Auidence be expected to watch it?
I see it close to the horror genre. Saw, Jason, Freddy,etc..of those movies can go on for years, supervillains can to.
Who would you greenlight? Lex? Joker? Magneto? Doom? Thanos?
Also, the payoff is that down the road a confrontation from the arch enemies (i.e. Spider-Man and Green Goblin) would be tremendous.
Of course, it would have to be the truly outstanding villains that resonate.
My vote would be Doom.Then a guy like Scarecrow would be awesome.

I mean we rooted for Gerald Butlers character even though we knew he was guilty.... A solid villain movie be awesome imo.... maybe a coming of age type that eventually tied into a storyline of a current movie.

Easily a Magneto film.

I would love to see a trilogy about Darth Vader. But only if Vader doesn't show up until the last 5 minutes of the 3rd film.

Thanos
Basically his actions up until the avengers movie 3

None. There are enough comic book movies already.

I don't think they could ever pull it off well because there is so much story and because it's not well known enough to fill seats but if they could I'd love to see a Kang mini series or series of movies.
That's someone who is definitely a villain but who has positive qualities and is admirable at times.

I think the obvious choice is Magneto, one of the best all-time villains and is able to toe the line of righteous villainy while staying sympathetic.
Few villains can actually do that convincingly.
A Lex film can be cool, however, we've seen that dozens of time.
Doom? Meh. Joker? I mean it could work as a horror film, but you'd need a hero from somewhere.
A Winter Soldier film would be great. Marvel has proven that Loki can be done well on screen (although I'm not sure as a full movie, however Hiddleston is pretty astounding as Loki).
I think the underrated choice is Mr. Freeze. Could have a Darkman vibe to it. He's like Magneto. Can be the sympathetic villain.
