Mister Sinister has been hinted at for years and would be the perfect bad guy for an ‘X-Force’ movie, but will he be the villain?
CelebNMovies247.com previously told you that the project was in the works and that it will be a raunchier Rated R than Deadpool 2. Read on for more about Mister Sinister being the villain in X-Force…
Celebes, we have some more news about the upcoming X-Force movie since ideas are still being thrown around.
We know that they have yet penned X-Force, but we are hearing that one of the best villains has yet to have been brought to life on the big screen. Yes, we’re talking about Mister Sinister.
The Hollywood Reporter has this revealing news if Sinister will make his big screen debut.
With direct references and allusions made to the character in X-Men: Apocalypse (2016), Logan (2017) and this past weekend’s release of Deadpool 2 (2018), it’s clear that Fox, and franchise producer Simon Kinberg, have major plans for the character. But with the looming Fox-Disney merger, will they get to tell his story?
This leaves us with X-Force, currently in pre-production with Drew Goddard at the helm. The film, which has already been confirmed to see Deadpool, Cable, and Domino team-up with several other teammates, seems like the perfect place for this darker edged crew of heroes to take on a darker edged villain. Not only does Mister Sinister now have ties to two of the confirmed members of the X-Force, it also would not be a leap to connect Sinister to the underground mutant facility that gave Deadpool his powers in the first film. These factors along, with the fact that Laura/X-23 served as a member of the X-Force in the comics, could enable the last several years of the X-franchise to all be tied together through Mister Sinister and his Essex Corporation.
Mister Sinister Background and Origin:
Sinter made his first appearance in The Uncanny X-Men No. 221 in 1987. Mister Sinister is the creation of Chris Claremont and artist Marc Silvestri. Like most X-Men characters, he has a complex backstory that has only grown more intricate through the years. Born Nathaniel Essex, Sinister was a Victorian-era contemporary of Charles Darwin. He first popularized the idea of the mutant genome, an X-Factor, which in his modesty he termed Essex Factors. After being ostracized by the scientific community, Essex became a true gothic villain, experimenting on corpses and the homeless population in order to unlock the mutant genome and speed up the process of evolution. Eventually, his experiments led to him crossing paths and aligning himself with the world’s first mutant, Apocalypse, who unlocked his mutant genes and immortality, tasked him with destroying the weak through plague and gave him a new name: Mister Sinister.
