Adam Driver as Mr. Sinister Adam Driver plays Jacques Le Gris in "The Last Duel" Disclosure The big surprise of the presentation was until the end. In a video appearance, Adam Driver revealed that he will play Nathaniel Milbury, an identity associated with Mr. Sinister, one of the main antagonists of the X-Men in the comics. "Kevin and I have talked for years about the possibility of joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And I think we've finally found the perfect film at the perfect time," Driver said during the announcement. The actor also joked about the character he will play by saying that he would be "waiting for everyone to arrive" at Pinewood studios. Driver's choice also ends, at least officially, the speculation that pointed to Brazilian Wagner Moura as one of the favorites to play the villain. The actor's name circulated heavily on social media during the rumor period, but he is not part of the cast announced by Marvel. More members should be announced According to Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, the cast presented at D23 represents only the first group of actors confirmed for the film. The executive indicated that new names should be announced later. Jake Schreier will be responsible for directing. The new X-Men is scheduled to be released exclusively in theaters on May 5, 2028.
