Bryan Cranston Wants to Play X-MEN Villain Mr. Sinister
As you may have heard, Breaking Bad and Malcolm in the Middle star Bryan Cranston recently said that he wanted to play a "nasty" Marvel villain. This was his exact quote:
"You know what I'd like to do? I'd like to do some big superhero villain in some Marvel classic. Create one from scratch… I don’t know what I would do but it would be nasty."
There was a great discussion in the comments regarding what character fans would like to see Cranston play. Some suggestions included Sin-Eater, Norman Osborn, Kraven, M.O.D.O.K., Galactus, Kang The Conqueror, Absorbing Man, and more. The big question is, who exactly would Cranston want to play?
During an appearance at the SuperMansion panel at NYCC, Cranston said he would like to play Mr. Sinister, who is one of the most infamous supervillains in the X-Men universe. He is a former scientist who, after an alteration by Apocalypse, ends up possessing "enhanced durability and an extended lifespan. Over the years, Sinister has used the genetic material of other mutants to grant himself a vast array of powers including telepathy, telekinesis, superhuman strength, the ability to project concussive energy from his hands, and total control of his body at the molecular level."
Mr. Sinster has yet to be brought to life for the big screen, but it would be cool to see Cranston take it on. The only downside about this is that Cranston would be a part of Fox's Marvel universe and not Marvel Studios' Cinematic Universe. If Fox ever decides to include Mr. Sinister in their future X-Men films, they'd be stupid not to cast Cranston. Hopefully the studio is paying attention.
