Now, to throw some more fuel on the rumor mill fire, Bryan Cranston has dropped some new hints that he's been dying to portray the villain on screen.

This isn't the first time Cranston has stated his interest in the part of Mr. Sinister. It wasn't that long ago that he made similar comments at a New York Comic Con Panel.
The producers of "Wolverine 3" have been secretive regarding the film's story details, so fans might have to wait until the official trailer is released before they can find out who will, or won't, be in the film for certain.
"Wolverine 3," which stars Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart, among others, is set for a March 3, 2017 release.
