ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Adam Driver will make a long-anticipated entrance into the Marvel Cinematic Universe to play super villain Mister Sinister, and “Obsession” breakout star Inde Navarrette will play Rogue in Disney ‘s forthcoming film reboot of “X-Men.”

At D23, Marvel revealed the core cast of its untitled X-Men film: Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, and Adam Driver as Mister Sinister.

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has admitted to chasing Driver for years before finally getting him to sign on as the villain of X-Men. Presumably, Sinister will only appear as the villain in this one film, though it's possible Driver's contract also gives Marvel the option to bring him back in the future. We'll just have to wait and find out.

Marvel named its X-Men cast and previewed Doctor Doom's backstory at D23. Adam Driver also pranked the crowd about playing Magneto.
