**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
All right, I'm going to hit you with some quick rumors here.
So we had a new X-Men, and this is going to be fun, this is where we're going. Okay, right now, Scoopers have been ablaze. I think this is because Marvel is on purpose trying to put fake stuff out there. We've talked about this before.
But after Adam Driver, speaking of, he's from Magneto. One Scooper that reported that, saying, I came out, I got it wrong. Someone told me I was wrong. It's actually Mr. Sinister. And then the day later, someone's like, actually, he's going to be William Shryker. So now, there's rumors that he's either Magneto, Sinister, or Shryker. He's the guy that puts the bone claws in the Wolverine Kirk. I see you thinking. Brian Cox, the next two. What were you thinking about?

**Kirkland** (0:36)
I know. I was just thinking about how I'm a lot less interested in the fact that he'd be Shryker versus the other two. Yeah.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:43)
That's what I was going to ask you guys. What's your ranking? What's your ranking?

**Dylan** (0:46)
My ranking is Sinister 100% number one.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:49)
Over Magneto, eh?

**Dylan** (0:50)
Oh yeah. I would love Sinister on the big screen. That would be so sick. We've got a million Magnetos before.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:56)
But what if like Sinister is already happening? I'm saying like who's driver you think the best quip for? You think still Sinister out of those three?

**Dylan** (1:03)
I think driver would be a good Sinister.

**Kirkland** (1:08)
I think driver is amazing. So I definitely believe he could do all three. And although initially I thought Striker at the bottom, like with a good script, I think that character could be like fucking terrifying, even though he is like super powered enemy or anything like that.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:24)
They got to get that one right, man.

**Kirkland** (1:26)
Magneto is the hardest one, I think, to Dawn because I have the most sentimental attachment to or nostalgic attachment. I don't know Magneto personally, but I guess the wording works still.
So that would be like the hardest to kind of fulfill, I feel. But again, driver is so talented. I believe he could do it. Sinister is the freak show pick that I just, I love. Give him the full on comic book accurate look. His hair is like very different than I've seen Driver have. I feel like I've seen him with long hair and shaved hair, but no like flat top thing like Sinister kind of has.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:08)
I was going to say Sinister also had long hair, so they could go that route.

**Kirkland** (2:11)
Let's go that route please.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:12)
Yeah, in the newer comics, he's had more long, luscious hair, so yeah, I agree.

**Kirkland** (2:17)
Another point on why I think I would put Sinister at the top for me is like, I don't think I've seen Driver do a role close to that at all. I've seen him play some weirdos, but like nothing to like.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:31)
Not that weirdo.

**Kirkland** (2:31)
Where he's screaming and all about that blood from, oh my gosh, what's her last name right now?

**SPEAKER_1** (2:38)
The Summers.

**Kirkland** (2:39)
The Summers.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:39)
Well, he's obsessed with the Summers. Jean Grey gets in there because she's like a breeding tool, but there she is, right? Like he just wants.

**Kirkland** (2:46)
I know, it's just a fucked up term.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:47)
That's how sinister he is, he's a fucked up guy.

**Kirkland** (2:49)
No, you're right. You're 100% right. It just shocked me, my little.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:52)
Okay, so YouTube bottom down there, Sinister Magneto Striker. I'm gonna go now.

**Kirkland** (2:57)
I think I put Striker actually above Magneto. What? Yeah. Striker. That's wild. Yeah. Sorry, Sinister Striker, then Magneto, in that order.

**Dylan** (3:05)
You're not one of my students, are you?

**Kirkland** (3:09)
That's- I explain my reasoning. I explain my reasoning.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:12)
That's crazy.
I'm definitely Magneto, Sinister Striker. Now, I'm in the camp that I still think will get Sinister in this movie and then Driver can be Magneto in a small appearance and set that up. We haven't seen Driver do that. He is a phenomenal actor, so maybe he could do that. That is a challenge. I definitely hope that we're gonna talk about a second, these Bill Skruggs' rumors are a bit wrong and he's there for Sinister. Sure, it's like Pennywise, but I think I'd love that, it's definitely for me, Magneto, Sinister and Stryker. Stryker just screams like Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio, like, hey, I want to be here for a one and done. I'm gonna be here, I'm gonna set up Wolverine and then I'm off. And I just, that's like, Stryker can be an interesting character.
