Mr. Sinister, also known as Nathaniel Essex, is a popular villain in the Marvel Comics Universe known for his intelligence, power, and evil genetic experiments. Fans have been eagerly anticipating his live-action debut for a while. With the X-Men coming to the MCU at some point, Sinister should follow.
