Marvel: 4 big time X-Men villains Shia LaBeouf could play in the MCU

The Director

Weapon X takes people and experiments on them. Wolverine and Deadpool are the most popular of the Weapon X experiments. Both of them have horror stories and nightmares of what was done to them. It doesn’t get much much worse than that. In the 2002 Weapon X comic book, they were offering mutants upgrades to their powers in exchange for their services. When the prospects said no, Weapon X were ordered to kill the people they were after.

The worst of them was The Director. He was remorseless, manipulative, and evil. He hated mutants because Wolverine carved his face up. In Logan’s defense, he was out of his mind after being experimented on.

LaBeouf would absolutely kill this role. Playing someone this devious could really work for him. He wouldn’t have to do anything physically-demanding and since it could be a while before they get to The Director, his age wouldn’t be an issue.

LaBeouf would excel at The Director’s sullen demeanor and giving out angry orders. It would be incredible to see him to play this evil man behind the horrible program. If he were to be cast, it would be perfect if they could hide who he was playing until we eventually see The Director’s face – especially since it’s completely scarred.
