In a recent interview with ComicbookMovie, Jon Hamm recalled almost playing Mister Sinister in The New Mutants, noting that he would still be “thrilled” to play the role. See his full quote below:
Considering Jon Hamm’s superb Hollywood stature, Marvel Studios should definitely give him a role inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, Hamm might have to play another character after a recent report surfaced that Academy Award winner Javier Bardem was tapped to play MCU’s Mister Sinister. More amazingly, Hamm is a self-proclaimed comic book fan but hasn’t yet played either a live-action superhero or a villain role throughout his career, aside from voicing Iron Man in the animated M.O.D.O.K. series on Hulu. Now that the MCU is constantly expanding with the Fantastic Four and X-Men nearly approaching, it’s undoubtedly the perfect time for Jon Hamm to join the mega-franchise.
