Sequels Mister Sinister casting call...

[Matt]

I think he is the ideal villian for a future sequel. He is more "adaptable" than Apocolypse, is a great villian...although...the name would have to change...I think Mister Sinister would sound too...cheesey. Just stick to Nathanial Essex.

As for the cast, I think Rudolph Martin is the ideal choice. He is good at playing villians, and is a pretty damn good actor. He has the look too.

Not a bad choice. I'd Go for Michael Wincott:

He even has the Voice for it.

 

[Savage]

Read my mind on Michael Wincott.

Matt has a good choice as well though but I just really can't think of anyone better than Wincott.

 

[supermarvelman]

Perfect choice

You don't cast someone basically only known for playing Dracula in different movies/series to play Sinister. It's like people who suggest Kurt Russell for Nick Fury. Really unimaginitive and derivative, the worst type of a bad casting thought process. It's why 9 out 10 suggestions for Thor seem to actors largely known from Lord of the Rings and other Sword and Sandal type movies.

Wizard suggested Lance Herkinsen:

I like it.

 

[Savage]

But it works.

There was a reason everybody wanted Christian Bale for the new Batman movie and got just that: He played very similar roles and in a way proved himself worthy. If you know someone that could do the role justice already, you go with that. It may be lazy but a lot of the time it is effective. When taking a risk on someone that doesn't fit the type, there is a high chance of it having spectacular results (Wolverine) as well as a high chance of it having crappy results (Storm). At least with people seen in similar roles before, it's a more stable choice. It's easier to picture and has a better of chance of getting it right.

Wizard suggested Lance Herkinsen:

He's a pretty good choice. I can picture him even without the make up and costume. Just a pale, insane scientist type.

WIncott

 

[Bulllvine]

^^^Yeah that looks good, and he'd nail all aspects of Sinister too (voice/look)

Hes done far more than Dracula, hes only done Dracula, as the popular myth once...on a TV series. He did a biopic of the REAL Vlad the Impaler (the war lord, not the vampire).

He also has a recurring villian role on Navy NCIS, did CSI a couple of times, 24 and numerous other guest spots on shows.

WIncott

Yea, I like Wincott...I was thinking of him, couldn't think of the name for the life of me, so just posted Martin...

 

[Speedball]

I'm gonna say Matt Damon or Nathan Fillion.
Matt Damon already has the widows peak, and is a respected actor who would bring alot to the box-office.

I would love to see Mr. Sinister in X4, and maybe Sinister and Cyclops could have a 1 on 1(mano a mano) battle in the final scene.

 

[evilangelis]

Personally I think Michael Wincott is a real stupid idea? because (A) he isn't a Londoner (B) he isn't 6'5" same with Lance, Although these two are great actors
they wouldn't be believable.

 

[psylockolussus]

Kevin Bacon would be perfect for the role but he already played Sebastian Shaw.

 

[Lord]

Aspects of Mister Sinister were kind of used for Sebastian Shaw, also, this thread is from some time after X-3 premiered
