Since Marvel hasn’t shared complete details about the upcoming X-Men movie which is claimed to be introducing the X-Men characters into the MCU. However, hints like Ms. Marvel and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in Phase 4 suggest that this project will introduce the mutants and their struggles. While the writers are working on the future project, it is reported that Marvel is eyeing X-Men‘s one of the iconic bad guys Mister Sinister as the leading foe.

Mister Sinister as his name suggests is a highly skilled supervillain in the comics whose real name is Nathaniel Essex. His transformation into a formidable foe was influenced by another mutant Apocalypse who enhanced the abilities and powers of Nathaniel, making him an incredible force.

However there has been no official release date announced for this X-Men project, but considering the upcoming and anticipated other MCU movies, it has been reported that this will likely come in mid-2026. Since Marvel hasn’t rushed in launching the mutants in the universe, Iman Vellani‘s Ms. Marvel aka Kamala Khan’s existence hints that the mutant genes are still present in the MCU which makes Mister Sinister debut easier.

Even though it hasn’t been confirmed yet, it’s worth noting what the enthusiasts desire to witness in the upcoming X-Men movie. Since this project will surround numerous mutants, it will likely involve acclaimed actors and X-Men characters in the MCU. Fans have shared their opinion on bringing Mister Sinister into the universe, through a post shared on X (earlier Twitter) by Screen Time:

Another significant detail that might align with Mister Sinister’s storyline in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is his obsession with studying mutant biology. In Secret Invasion, Samuel L. Jackson‘s Nick Fury’s Skrull wife, Priscilla, a.k.a. Varra was seen studying the superhuman genes and even wrote a book on the subject. This might help the supervillain’s story to initiate in the superhero world. To know more about the upcoming film, keep coming back till we gather every detail for you!
