1. What Is Mister Sinister's Plan?

The Question: We know that the Essex Corp-branded briefcase during the post-credits scene is a near-concrete confirmation that Mister Sinister will be the X-Men's next villain, but what exactly is his evil scheme?

The Likely Answer: In the comics, Sinister was obsessed with perfecting life through DNA manipulation and experiments upon mutants. He was also deeply interested in Cyclops' genetic line, and created a Jean Grey clone to breed with him which led to the birth of Cable, though this is probably too outlandish for any upcoming X-Men movie.

Instead, the movie Sinister may very well have fairly simple aspirations, to create the "perfect" mutant, hence having his men recover the vials from the Weapon X facility. Whether Sinister shows up first in The Wolverine 3 or the next proper X-Men movie, don't be surprised if he sics some of the other weaponised mutants on Wolverine and company.

We hope it'll end up being something much more interesting than that, though.
