Marvel Studios Chooses 3 X-Men Villains to Kick Off Next Saga (Report)

by

A recent report suggests Marvel Studios has selected three intriguing villains to kick off the X-Men saga in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As the current ‘Multiverse Saga’ nears its end with upcoming films like Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, Marvel is already planning for the future. The X-Men’s arrival is highly anticipated, and along with them will come a host of villains – some, like Apocalypse and Sabretooth, may even get a chance at redemption. This new report details which major villains will appear first in the saga.

According to a report from The Cosmic Circus, Marvel Studios is planning to use three classic X-Men villains – Bolivar Trask, Sentinels, and Mr. Sinister – in future projects focused on mutants. The idea is to portray mutants (and others with superpowers) as frightening to the public. This is supposedly part of a larger scheme by the Department of Damage Control to gain more federal funding and keep conducting experiments on these individuals.

As a huge Marvel fan, I’ve seen these three X-Men villains pop up in different movies and shows before. But honestly, the really cool thing now is seeing them potentially team up – or clash – with the Avengers and other heroes in one big universe. It just feels like it gives these characters a whole new level of importance and opens up so many possibilities!

Bolivar Trask is the human scientist responsible for creating the Sentinels, robots designed to eliminate mutants. While an actor (Peter Dinklage, known from Game of Thrones) played Trask in the 2014 film X-Men: Days of Future Past, his introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) provides a new beginning for the character. Trask believes mutants pose a fundamental danger to humankind, a viewpoint that mirrors the central conflict within the broader ‘Mutant Saga,’ according to recent reports.

The Sentinels are huge, powerful robots created by Trask Industries to hunt down mutants. What makes them so threatening is their ability to change and evolve, allowing them to quickly adapt to any challenge. Given the growing importance of artificial intelligence (AI), the Marvel Cinematic Universe could use it to enhance the Sentinel storyline and connect it to real-world concerns.

Mr. Sinister, whose real name is Nathaniel Essex, is dangerously obsessed with creating the ultimate mutants, a goal that’s central to the larger story of mutants in the Marvel Universe. He’s incredibly powerful – practically immortal with superhuman abilities – and a major enemy of the X-Men. Sinister prefers to manipulate events from the shadows, and it’s possible he’s secretly responsible for the actions of the Department of Damage Control.

I’m so excited for what’s coming next in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! It sounds like we’re heading into a big new phase called the Mutant Saga, and it’s going to be heavily focused on the X-Men and all their rivals. From what I understand, the rebooted X-Men movie will be the one that starts everything off, and Jake Schreier, who’s directing Thunderbolts , is going to be the director!

Which Other X-Men Villains Could Appear in The Mutant Saga?

The X-Men universe has a huge number of villains who could appear in the upcoming Mutant Saga. Magneto is almost certainly going to be a major threat, as his conflict with Charles Xavier is central to the entire X-Men story.

With Magneto likely joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, other members of his team, the Brotherhood of Mutants – like Mystique, Emma Frost, Toad, and Blob – could also appear. Giving the Brotherhood a chance to succeed against the X-Men would be a fresh direction for the MCU, and exploring their complex motivations could create a really interesting story arc for them down the line.

Sebastian Shaw is another famous X-Men enemy who might appear. He’s a mutant with the power to absorb energy and convert it into incredible strength. His connection to the Hellfire Club could also bring that evil mutant team – determined to take over the world – into the story.

To really shake things up, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s upcoming mutant storyline could move to the Savage Land and feature Sauron, a mutant dinosaur-like creature with the power to drain the life energy from others.

The X-Men have a huge roster of characters who haven’t been explored yet, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe could use them to create even more connected and compelling stories.
