In the movie Se7en, John Doe's deadly sin is Wrath.

He represents wrath because his crimes are motivated by a deep-seated anger and hatred towards the world and its perceived sins. He believes he's enacting justice by punishing people for their "sins", and his methods are incredibly violent and gruesome.

He even directly states his sin to Detective Somerset before the final confrontation, saying, "I'm not a monster. I'm just... a little angry."
