Wolverine 3: Bryan Singer Confirms Mister Sinister Will Appear After almost two decades of playing Wolverine, Hugh Jackman will bring out the adamantium claws one more time for Wolverine 3. Expectations for the film are extremely high, especially amongst fans hoping for Jackman to get a proper sendoff utilizing the Old Man Logan storyline. There has not been much revealed about the movie outside of Professor X’s involvement, possibly for Patrick Stewart’s last time as well, and rumors of X-23 being introduced. As such, the question remains: Who will be the big bad worthy of Logan’s final journey? As it turns out, the answer lies in the most recent X-Men film. The post-credit scene for X-Men: Apocalypse was not used to tease what threat the new X-Men team will face in the future, instead the short sequence teased Wolverine 3. With so little having been established about the film it is exciting to find out that Bryan Singer has confirmed the villain for the next movie in the X-Men universe. Singer delivered a director’s commentary attached to the home video release of Apocalypse, and when the post-credit scene appears, he confirmed exactly what it meant. The scene features a man going through the Weapon X facility carrying an Essex Corp briefcase. CinemaBlend states that, during the commentary, Singer confirms Mister Sinister will be in Wolverine 3. This should not be surprising news to many, but it is always great to get the official confirmation from those involved. Mister Sinister, also known as Nathaniel Essex, was able to become more powerful by experimenting on other mutants. Interestingly enough, Apocalypse was also involved in Essex becoming who he is and choosing Sinister as his new name, which makes the character reveal at the end of Apocalypse somewhat fitting. Even though there was no hint in Apocalypse that the two had ever met before, it wouldn’t take much to patch that particular hole. As of this point, Fox has not revealed who is cast in the role. It has been theorized that Richard E. Grant as a “mad scientist” means he’ll be the one to take on the role of Mister Sinister, and unless Fox has been able to keep a surprise casting under wraps throughout the entire shoot, Grant is still the likeliest suspect. Regardless of who plays Sinister or how he is involved, the movie will hinge on giving Jackman the perfect ending, and the confirmed R-rating should, at the very least, ensure that Wolverine will have his fair share of violent action scenes, one last time. Wolverine 3 opens in U.S. theaters on March 3, 2017, followed by unannounced X-Men films on October 6, 2017, March 2, 2018, and June 29, 2018. Deadpool 2, Gambit, New Mutants and X-Force are currently in development.
Me too, I got hooked with the awesome dumb robot movie video If I'm honest though, I'm more looking forward to the "everything wrong with" and "everything great about" videos forthcoming
Has anyone seen the "roast of Captain America" (that they previewed at the end of that honest trailer)? I want to know whether it's worth letting ScreenJunkies invade my facebook timeline.
Of the three I like How It Should Have Ended the best. Followed by Honest Trailers. I can't stand Everything Wrong With...
Honest Trailers is usually funny on bad/stupid movies. They try too hard to be funny sometimes on the good movies.
They kind of acknowledged this on CA2. Paraphrasing, but they said something like "What do you want us to say, it's pretty good."
It's an endearing sort of criticism, you have to care about something enough to nitpick like that. I do really enjoy the unabashed love that CinemaWins offers though. That niche feels like a necessary counterpart.
Currently watching Ghost Rider on Hulu. The one in AOS is a different one though right? Not Johnny Blaze.
Just finished. It definitely falls apart in the final act, but it isn't as good awful as the reviews made it out to be. Was there a Stan Lee cameo?
It's strange. At times they treat AA as a slightly retconned continuation of EMH, then other times it just goes of the rails.
Doctor Strange May Introduce the Illuminati to the MCU Doctor Strange is being widely touted as the first Marvel film in a while to significantly upend the general understanding of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, mainly inasmuch as it will introduce the concept of mysticism and magic (as opposed to science-as-magic as seen in the Thor movies) to the mega-franchise. Indeed, this would mark the most significant leap forward for the MCU since Guardians of The Galaxy added entire new solar-systems worth of worlds and characters to the mix several years back, and with similar broad-reaching implications. But now, a curious quote from Doctor Strange actor Benedict Cumberbatch has raised the possibility that the film could bring an even bigger (and much more terrestrial) shift than anyone had been anticipating. The quote in question comes from a response to a recent interview question put to the Sherlock star by ScreenRant, wherein Cumberbatch was asked about the pressure of bring such an important new character to the bigger Marvel Universe picture and responded: “I think playing any iconic role when you’re stepping into big shoes, into the shadow of people who have come before you and you can’t process that in a movie to movie basis … I’m excited to see where the Illuminati and whatever else might happen, how that works, and where it ends up. So, yeah, I’m aware of his place within the comic pantheon of it all, the Marvelverse, but I don’t email Kevin saying, “When are we doing next film?” I’m excited to see. I’m excited to see. And as you know, from all these previous incarnations, they play out in unexpected ways from the comic format and journey, so they manage to both fulfill that magical space of doing things that seem to please diehard fans and bring something new as well. So, I guess that’ll be the centerpiece for this guy’s journey.” As befits the famously talkative star, that’s quite a lot of words for a sentiment that ultimately boils down to “I don’t know yet.” But what’s sure to jump out to many fans is the use of a single word, “Illuminati,” which carries with it the possibility that Doctor Strange himself may have just (unintentionally?) revealed the next big story turn for the broader Marvel Universe continuum. While the name “Illuminati” originated with a short-lived “secret society” (an ideological-offshoot of Freemasonry, specifically) that was suppressed for pushing secular social-reforms between 1776 and 1785 in Bavaria, it has since been co-opted to identify both a dizzying number of (often nefarious) organizations in popular fiction and as a shorthand for alleged “real-life” conspiracy-theories throughout the 19th, 20th and 21st Centuries. But in the pages of Marvel Comics circa-2006, it was the name of a secret group of highly-placed and/or politically-powerful superheroes who met in secret to manipulate and control the events of the Marvel Universe from behind the scenes; with the original membership including Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Mr. Fantastic, Professor X, Black Bolt and Prince Namor (Black Panther was also invited, but declined over ideological objections). It’s unclear exactly what form or function The Illuminati would take in the Cinematic Universe – if that is indeed what Cumberbatch’s words imply. In the comics, The Illuminati were shown to have had limited success in keeping major events in Marvel history from having spiraled out of control; but they were also unable to prevent several major tragedies and their (then) most recent decisions exacerbated the tense situations that led directly to the catastrophes of Civil War and World War Hulk.
