There was a time when ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ actor Jon Hamm was in talks for the villainous role of Mister Sinister in a planned follow-up to THE NEW MUTANTS from director Josh Boone. In fact, producers even considered having him film a teasing cameo for the end of the first film in a round of reshoots which never took place. That’s due to the Disney/Fox merger, which resulted in the X-Men and Fantastic Four rights reverting back to Marvel.
When asked by ScreenRant if he still has interest in joining a Marvel Studios film, Hamm said “I would love to. I’ve been a fan of Marvel Comics and comics in general since I was probably single digits. I think there are tons of stories that I’m familiar with, at least, that are still out there to be told.”
“Hopefully, whatever their plans are, they include me,” he continued. “But if not, I know that they have a pretty deep bench of folks that are ready to be a part of those stories. There are certainly a lot of stories in the X-Men world to be told. Fantastic Four as well, [like] Doctor Doom. There are so many great things out there. But yeah, I hope I get a chance. Who knows?”
