Bryan Cranston definitely had a sinister side as Walter White.

But Cranston told the audience at Comic Con in New York City that he wants to play Mr. Sinister, an X-men villain well-known to comic fans and who was created by the villain Apocalypse, who just happens to be the main bad guy in the next X-Men movie.

"It intrigues me to be able to play a character that hasn't been on film before, so you can create it from the beginning," he said.

So maybe Cranston has some inside knowledge about the next film that we don't?

Time will tell.

One thing's for sure though.  The fans at the convention were sure excited about it.
