Overview
- On Thursday Moura told ScreenRant that he has not been contacted by Marvel and that no negotiations are underway.
- The actor said fans have been sending him links about the rumor and that he would welcome a Marvel role, but emphasized the reports are only online speculation.
- Entertainment trades and sites have circulated related claims, including a Deadline report naming Kit Connor as a possible Cyclops, but Marvel Studios has made no official casting announcements.
- Mister Sinister, created in 1986 as Nathaniel Essex, is a major X-Men villain known for genetic experiments, unusual powers and long life, and he has never appeared in a live-action Marvel film.
- Watch for a formal statement from Marvel or casting confirmations from reliable trades to move the story from rumor to fact and to clarify how the studio will introduce the new X-Men roster.
