RUMOR: JAMES BOND Star Daniel Craig Eyed To Play The Villainous Mr. Sinister In The GAMBIT Movie
Best to take this with that ever-ready pinch of salt for now, but a new rumor suggests that 20th Century FOX is eyeing none other than Daniel Craig (James Bond, Logan Lucky) to play Mr. Sinister in Gambit.
Last week, Splash Report shared what they claimed was a detailed plot synopsis for 20th Century FOX's Gambit movie. The breakdown revealed that Nathaniel Essex, A.K.A. Mr. Sinister, would be the primary villain of the film, and now we might just have an idea of which actor the studio is looking at to play him.
According to the site's follow-up report, there are "conversations" about bringing in Daniel Craig - who recently appeared alongside Channing Tatum in Logan Lucky - to play Sinister in Gambit before reprising the role for other future X-Men movies.
We'll have to treat this as a rumor for now, but these guys have had some solid scoops in the past so it's definitely worth keeping an eye on. Of course, even if FOX is interested in the 007 actor for this role, there's no indication that he'll be as enthusiastic about it. We'll just have to wait and see how things shake out.
In the meantime, let us know what you think about the possibility of Daniel Crag playing Gambit's Mr. Sinister in the comments section below.
