We see a besuited man walking through the remains of the Weapon X clean-up programme, removing the blood, bodies and bullets. And retrieving vials of Wolverine’s blood labelled Weapon X. And placing them into his briefcase which contains other vials of differing colours. Slamming shut, it is labelled ESSEX CORP.

“Essex” would seem to refer to Nathaniel Essex, a.k.a. Mister Sinister, a 19th century scientist very interested genetics and mutation but not very interested in moral or ethical standards. In the comics, Apocalypse gives Essex with superpowers like telepathy, telekinesis, and longevity (and leaves him looking like a fancy ghost with a Troll gem in his head). He is particularly obsessed with the Summers family; the popular character Cable, who is expected to appear in Deadpool 2, is the son of Cyclops and a Jean Grey clone and a result of Mister Sinister’s manipulations.

As of now, no one official has confirmed that Mister Sinister is the Wolverine 3 villain. But the story could easily fit with the rumors and facts we’ve heard about the film so far. Boyd Holbrook is playing the villain, described as “a relentless, calculating and intense head of security for a global enterprise,” and Richard E. Grant is playing another baddie described as a “mad scientist type.” Furthermore, there have been unconfirmed reports that Wolverine 3 could mark the live-action big-screen debut of X-23, a female clone of Wolverine’s. All of these characters sound like they could fit into a storyline driven by Mister Sinister and his dastardly scientific experiments.
