Bryan Cranston Wants to Play a Very Specific X-Men Villain
Bryan Cranston has in the past noted his desire to play a villain in a superhero film. In the latest interview, he's cited Mister Sinister as the big-bad he'd love to tackle.
“Mr. Sinister has always been someone,” he teased. “It would be very cool.” That being said, the actor shares a sentiment that, I'm sure, a lot of actors share, in that he would love to craft an original role in the same vein.
“I’m interested in creating a role. I’d love to do something that hasn’t been done before,” Bryan said. “Lex Luthor, there’s been a lot of that. I’ve been asked to take a look at Commissioner Gordon, and it’s like I would be one in several. I would kind of like to carve out a new identity.”
Fox has the rights to the character, and Mr. Sinister is actually set to appear in Wolverine 3. So, it's looking like Cranston may have missed his chance.
