Adam Driver opened up about why he said yes to playing Mister Sinister in the “X-Men” reboot after turning down many Marvel movies over the years.

“I was a big fan [of ‘X-Men]. I mean, I was a fan of the other things too, but this one felt like the right time,” Driver said during a recent appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Further reflecting on the reasons he joined the project, Driver added, “It was really ‘X-Men,’ Jake Schreier, who’s the director, his idea for it, and that it’s Kevin Feige. It all kind of came together. The script is really cool.”
