Adam Driver Talks About His Upcoming Turn as Mister Sinister in the X-Men Reboot

Adam Driver, best known for his turn as Kylo Ren in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, is finally going to be a part of the MCU after years of speculation. But instead of playing Magneto as rumors suggested, he landed the role of Mister Sinister in the upcoming X-Men reboot.

During a recent Jimmy Kimmel segment, Driver spoke briefly about the role and what drew him to it. “I was a big X-Men fan when I was a kid,” Driver said. “The TV show was right in my generation. It’s huge for me. Me and my cousin, Tony, he would be Sabretooth and I would be Wolverine — it’s a big deal.”

In the comics, Mister Sinister is the persona of Dr. Nathaniel Essex, a London biologist obsessed with engineering humanity into a perfect race of superhumans. When Kimmel mentioned the name of the supervillain on the segment, Driver couldn’t help but smile.

It’s a character he’s clearly excited about playing. As Kimmel pointed out on the show, Driver has been offered multiple roles by president of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige, but he’s turned them all down. He’s never wanted to be a part of the MCU, until now.

“I was a fan of the other things too, but this one felt like the right time, and it’s X-Men,” Driver said. Driver credited part of his willingness to take the role on working with director Jake Schreier, best known for the brilliant Netflix show Beef, and Marvel’s Thunderbolts.
