The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been subtly incorporating X-Men elements, such as the recent release of Deadpool and Wolverine, hinting at a future where mutant characters take center stage within the main storyline. For quite some time, an X-Men film under the MCU umbrella has been in production, with whispers suggesting that Mister Sinister might be the primary villain. There are also rumors about who Marvel Studios may consider for this role, and I’d be thrilled if these reports turn out to be accurate.
According to reports by @MyTimeToShineHello (via ComicBookMovie), there’s speculation that Javier Bardem might portray the character Sinister in an upcoming Marvel film. For now, it’s best to approach this news cautiously, but if true, it’s also suggested that Bardem’s performance wouldn’t be a one-off. If accurate, Sinister is said to be a significant antagonist for the MCU’s next story arc, meaning that whether Bardem or another actor takes on the role, this longtime X-Men adversary could have a lasting presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Javier Bardem has been part of significant film series before, appearing in “Skyfall,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,” Disney’s live-action version of “The Little Mermaid,” and both “Dune” films. It appears that he might soon make his mark on the superhero genre, and the character of Mister Sinister seems particularly suited to his abilities.
Previously, our very own Jason Wiese believed Javier Bardem would make an excellent choice to portray the character of Sinister. He pointed out that films like “No Country for Old Men” and “Skyfall,” in which Bardem excelled at playing villainous roles, showcased his exceptional talent as a bad guy. Here’s hoping Marvel Studios is seriously considering Bardem for Mister Sinister, and I’ll hold my breath even tighter if he lands the role!
Mister Sinister is among the select characters who didn’t appear in any X-Men movies produced by 20th Century Fox during the 20th century. Nevertheless, it was intended for him to be part of the series, as hinted by the briefcase at the end of X-Men: Apocalypse’s credits, which linked back to Sinister’s original name, Nathaniel Essex, from Essex Corp.
The playful hint was intended to introduce Channing Tatum’s Gambit movie, one of the numerous X-Men productions that were canceled following Disney’s acquisition. It’s also been confirmed that Jon Hamm had been prepared to play Sinister in The New Mutants, but unfortunately, no scenes featuring him as the character were ever filmed.
Previously, Mister Sinister had his moment in the limelight outside of the comics in the series X-Men ’97, a continuation of X-Men: The Animated Series that can be accessed with a Disney+ subscription. It’s only natural to envision this character gracing the big screen at some point, and although we don’t know exactly when the X-Men reboot is due for release, it could potentially be one of the MCU movies slated for 2027. Here’s to hoping that information about the Marvel movie being written by Michael Lesslie, which is expected to start unfolding in 2025, sheds some light on whether Mister Sinister will have a role.
