Bryan Cranston wants to play X-Men villain Mr. Sinister

Bryan Cranston has been discussing the possibility of playing a superhero, having told METRO: "I’d like to do some big superhero villain in some Marvel classic". And while he had originally suggested he’d like to play a character created "from scratch", he's now got a specific antagonist in mind.

During an appearance at the SuperMansion panel at NYCC, Cranston suggested he’d be keen to play Mr. Sinister, one of the most infamous supervillains in the X-Men universe. A telepathic, shapeshifting, regenerating wrong’un, Mr. Sinister has yet to be featured in the big-screen franchise, but must surely be a likely candidate to take on bad guy responsibilities in a future sequel.
