Greatest villains of the 21st century so far?

We are almost a quarter of the way through the century and I thought it would be an idea to list some of cinema's greatest villains in these first 25 calendar years. I'm sure there will be a wide range of opinion on this but I think some of these will reach consensus. This isn't in any particular order but are the first that come to my head:
The Joker, The Dark Knight (2008)
Anton Chigurh, No Country For Old Men (2007)
Bill the Butcher, Gangs of New York (2002)
Commodus, Gladiator (2000)
Amy Dunne, Gone Girl (2014)
Terence Fletcher, Whiplash (2014)
Pennywise the Clown, It: Chapter One (2017)
Hans Landa, Inglorious Basterds (2009)
Frank Costello, The Departed (2006)
Calvin Candie, Django Unchained (2012)
Alonzo Harris, Training Day (2001)
Lord Voldemort, Harry Potter franchise (2001-2011)
Thanos, Marvel's Infinity Saga (2008-2019)
The Joker, The Dark Knight (2008)
Anton Chigurh, No Country For Old Men (2007)
Bill the Butcher, Gangs of New York (2002)
Commodus, Gladiator (2000)
Amy Dunne, Gone Girl (2014)
Terence Fletcher, Whiplash (2014)
Pennywise the Clown, It: Chapter One (2017)
Hans Landa, Inglorious Basterds (2009)
Frank Costello, The Departed (2006)
Calvin Candie, Django Unchained (2012)
Alonzo Harris, Training Day (2001)
Lord Voldemort, Harry Potter franchise (2001-2011)

Thanos has to be in there considering one of the biggest movies of the era is centered around him tearing apart through every hero to win.

Pretty impressive that he makes this list in two different centuries now:

A great villain people don’t usually include in lists like this:
Li'l Zé From City of God.

Only one choice.

Like you lost but Fletcher isn’t a villain and Candie isn’t near the level of the others. Maybe replace them with Ava from Ex Machina and Daniel Plainview from There Will be Blood.

Nathan is the villain in Ex Machina, not Ava.

Or is Caleb the villain?
