Spiral

Spiral isn’t a Wolverine villain, per se. She is, however, one of the X-Men’s most dangerous enemies. Not someone to be messed with, she has six arms and she can use swords in all of them at the same time.  Not only is she an incredible fighter, she’s also a skilled magician.

Taraji P. Henson could easily play Spiral and add more attitude and personality to her. She wouldn’t just be the villainous Mojo’s lackey. She’d be his partner – someone that Mojo knows that he can’t replace.

Miss Sinister

Miss Sinister isn’t Nathaniel Essex. She’s yet another result of one of his experiments. When he died in Messiah Complex, Miss Sinister was born.

She’s a powerful telepath that almost made Daken (Wolverine’s son) one of Sebastian Shaw’s lackeys. It wasn’t just Wolverine and Daken she was after though as she also tried tracking down and taking on Laura Kinney (X-32/Wolverine).

A woman of expensive taste and a need for control, it would be great to see her arrive in the MCU. Miss Sinister is only Sinister in name. She may experiment and have telepathy like him, but she doesn’t seem quite as obsessed – a small, but distinct difference. It would be great to see Taraji P. Henson portray her. In fact, it’d be an unexpected, but welcome role for her – one that she would absolutely nail.
