Recently appearing on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eFtCWHVgxUo\" target=\"_blank\">AMC&#8217;s Geeking Out<\/a>, Cranston had this to say, when asked about which villains he&#8217;s interested in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m interested in creating a role. I\u2019d love to do something that hasn\u2019t been done before. Lex Luthor, there\u2019s been a lot of that. I\u2019ve been asked to take a look at Commissioner Gordon. It\u2019s like, I would be one in several and I would kind of like to carve out a new identity. Mister Sinister has always been someone\u2026that would be very cool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eFtCWHVgxUo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible though, that role has already been cast. <a href=\"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/films\/x-men-apocalypse\/\">X-MEN: APOCALYPSE<\/a> director Bryan Singer recently revealed (via film commentary) that Sinister will appear in Hugh Jackman&#8217;s final <a href=\"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/films\/wolv3rine\/\">WOLVERINE<\/a> outing. Singer placed a teaser for the character (real name: Nathaniel Essex) in the after credits scene for &#8220;Apocalypse,&#8221; hinting at something greater. But that film&#8217;s director, James Mangold, has <a href=\"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/director-james-mangold-reacts-to-news-of-mr-sinister-appearing-in-wolverine-finale\/\">denied any involvemen<\/a>t with the character. Of course he could be keeping his lips sealed for a future reveal. The actor believed to be playing a role that could be considered Mr. Sinister is Richard E. Grant, whose character was directly described as being a mad scientist.<\/p>\n<p>Artist <strong>Hamza Javed<\/strong> recently did an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BKmJ5l8ARHz\/?taken-by=hjaved.art\" target=\"_blank\">awesome manip<\/a> of Grant as Sinister, which you can see below:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"7\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<div style=\"padding:8px;\">\n<div style=\" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:47.7083333333% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;\">\n<div style=\" background:url(data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC\/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5\/P8\/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo\/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI\/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf\/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BKmJ5l8ARHz\/\" style=\" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;\" target=\"_blank\">Richard E.
