Marvel Studios Reveals 3 X-Men Villains for Exciting Reboot Movie

BBG News

It appears that Marvel Studios has selected three captivating adversaries for the X-Men in their upcoming reboot film. The revamped X-Men project, which falls under the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is currently being developed, and there’s talk that Jake Schreier, director of Thunderbolts, might be taking charge of the reboot. However, it seems that the movie will no longer be released in 2027, as Avengers: Doomsday has been postponed from May 2026 to December 2026. Despite this delay, excitement for the MCU’s interpretation of the X-Men remains unabated.

One major uncertainty surrounding the upcoming reboot is who will take on the role of the X-Men’s new adversary. Many speculate it could be Mojo, Nimrod, Apocalypse, or Onslaught due to their notoriety in the rogue’s gallery. However, a recent report by Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus suggests that Marvel Studios may be considering different villains for their debut X-Men movie in the MCU.

The 3 Marvel Villains Rumored for the MCU’s X-Men Reboot

Nathaniel Essex/Mr. Sinister

It’s not shocking that Mr. Sinister, also known as Dr. Nathaniel Essex, is mentioned in the latest report for Marvel Studios’ X-Men reboot during Phase 7, considering he has been previously speculated to be the main antagonist.

In the Marvel universe, Dr. Essex’s intense interest in mutations and human evolution eventually spells disaster for him. This occurs after he crosses paths with a notorious X-Men adversary known as Apocalypse. After this transformation into Mr. Sinister, he becomes a significant threat to mutants, thanks to his diverse skillset that encompasses immortality, telepathy, immense physical strength, the ability to change shapes, and telekinesis.

In the animated series “X-Men ’97”, it was shown that Mr. Sinister posed a persistent threat to the mutant team, consistently causing them trouble. Similarly, this unyielding harassment may continue in the upcoming live-action X-Men remake as well.

There’s a chance that Mr. Sinister’s intense interest might drive him to conduct research opposing the X-Men, and he might even collaborate with the government in order to accomplish this objective.

Senator Robert Kelly

In the X-Men narratives, mutants faced not just formidable enemies, but also battled influential figures in government who doubted their very presence. Among these skeptics was Senator Robert Kelly.

Senator Kelly has consistently been vocal about his concerns towards mutants, viewing them as a potential danger to the country’s security. In the Marvel universe, he played a significant role in advocating for the Mutant Registration Act, which eventually resulted in his death at the hands of the Brotherhood of Mutants. This tragic event served as a catalyst for the chain of events that unfolded into the timeline known as Days of Future Past, where the Sentinels mercilessly pursued and dominated mutants, ultimately leading to planetary conquest.

In the new Marvel Cinematic Universe installment, Senator Kelly’s appearance may signal that the storyline will immediately explore the consequences of mutants being present, much like how Captain America: Civil War quickly made the Sokovia Accords a central focus.

His presence might indirectly speed up the approval of the mutant registration act within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), potentially leading to a Days of Future Past-inspired storyline during Phase 7.

Bolivar Trask

In a futuristic setting, Bolivar Trask is famously known for designing and launching the Sentinel Project – an advanced weapon system initially created to eliminate mutants, leading to their eventual extinction.

(This sentence maintains the same meaning but presents it in a more engaging and conversational style.)

Trask’s intense dislike for mutants has fueled his efforts to develop the Sentinels, a theme that could be emphasized in Marvel Studios’ fresh take on the storyline.

As a movie enthusiast, I can’t help but get excited about the prospect of Simon Trask joining the X-Men reboot. This move seems to hint at a dark future where the Sentinels could become active, potentially leading to an intense conflict with Charles Xavier and his team in Phase 7.

There’s also a theory floating around that Trask might be manipulated by Mr. Sinister from behind the scenes, ensuring that the Sentinels are made as formidable as possible for their eventual confrontation.
