Confirmed: Mister Sinister Will Appear in Wolverine 3

The post-credit scene for X-Men: Apocalypse delivered a nice teaser for fans with the reveal of “Essex Corp,” which naturally means the villain Mister Sinister is on his way to make an appearance but in which movie? Now, Writer/producer Simon Kinberg previously said it could be a teaser for any number of X-Men movies, but on the commentary track for Apocalypse (as discovered by Cinema Blend), Kinberg and director Bryan Singer revealed that the villain will appear in Wolverine 3.

The new Wolverine movie will be Hugh Jackman’s last appearance as the title character. The cast also includes Patrick Stewart, Eriq La Salle, Elise Neal and Elizabeth Rodriguez.

Cast includes Boyd Holbrook (possible), Richard E. Grant (likely), or even Stephen Merchant (probably not). We know that the primary villains for the film will include both The Reavers, as well as Wolverine’s favorite group, Weapon X. It stands to reason that Sinister’s role in the film will be tied to the creation of X-23, the young female clone of Wolverine also along for the film’s road trip.

Wolverine 3 will hit theaters on March 3, 2017.
