Marvel's M.O.D.O.K. will feature an appearance from a pair of classic X-Men villains.
Showrunner Jordan Blum confirmed on Twitter that Mr. Sinister would make an appearance on the show, posting a design of the mad geneticist on Twitter. "For those who missed it, the very fabulous Mr. Sinister will be popping up on [Marvel's MODOK] in all his deep v-neck glory," Blum wrote, also suggesting that fans read the current Hellions series from Marvel and confirming Sinister's design was also influenced by X-Men: The Animated Series.

During an interview with ComicsXF, Blum also revealed the character design for the Brood Queen, who will also appear on the show. The Brood are a parasitic race of aliens, designed to be the ultimate predators in the universe, and have faced off against the X-Men as well as other superheroes including the Guardians of the Galaxy.
At last year's New York Comic-Con Metaverse event, Blum and co-showrunner Patton Oswalt confirmed that Marvel had allowed them to use multiple characters from the X-Men mythos. "We pitched a couple of characters, like... some even in the X-Universe. We were like, 'I don't know if they're gonna say yes to this.' And they were like, 'Yeah, go ahead.'" Patton said in a video interview.
Marvel's M.O.D.O.K. stars Patton Oswalt as M.O.D.O.K., Aimee Garcia as Jodie, Ben Schwartz as Lou, Melissa Fumero as Melissa, Wendi McLendon-Covey as Monica Rappaccini, Beck Bennett as Austin Van Der Sleet, Jon Daly as Super Adaptoid and Sam Richardson as Gary. The series will stream on Hulu, though has yet to receive a premiere date.
