X-MEN Villain Mr. Sinister Is Officially Coming To The Movie Universe
We've known for a while now that Mr. Sinister won't be making an appearance in Logan, but it's been confirmed that Fox has plans for the iconic villain in the X-Men Universe somewhere down the line.
It's now been confirmed on multiple occasions that Mr. Sinister won't be making an appearance in Logan despite the fact that X-Men: Apocalypse seemingly set the stage for the iconic villain to appear in that movie. During a recent chat with Cinema Blend, producer Simon Kinberg admitted that the blood collected by those Essex Corp. employees does indeed set up Wolverine's final adventure.
In all honesty, that was to be expected, but with no physical appearance in Logan according to director James Mangold, what does the future hold for the iconic and thoroughly villainous Nathaniel Essex?
"The short answer is yes," Kinberg said when asked if Sinister will be making any big screen appearances in future. "We’d love to see Sinister. I think he is one of the great untapped villains in the X-Men universe, and we do have plans to introduce him into the world." What do those plans involve? For the time being, that obviously remains to be seen!
It's easy to imagine him showing up in Deadpool 2, X-Force, or X-Men: Supernova given his obsession with the Summers family, and with Bryan Cranston making it clear that he wants to take on the role, here's hoping Fox gets the ball rolling on Mr. Sinister sooner rather than later. Thoughts?
