We found out a few months back that Richard E. Grant had joined the cast for Hugh Jackman's upcoming
The Wolverine sequel (
check out Cassidy's post HERE). There is a lot of speculation (backed up by our friends over at
ScreenGeek.net) that the British actor might
be playing the live-action version of Mr. Sinister/Nathaniel Essex. Nothing concrete, but Grant's character is described as a "mad scientist type", so it would make sense.
So what could Richard E. Grant
look like as Mr. Sinister? We recruited the help of the very talented Hamza Javed (
hjaved.art) to create an exclusive portrait for CBM so that we could find out! The results are below and I think the image is going to please fans. Want to view a larger, high resolution version of the image? Click on it!
What do you think of Hamza's work? Let us know in the comments below! Head over to his
Instagram page (hjaved.art) to see more of his work!
About The Author:
ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.
Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.
Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).
