about Giancarlo Esposito It stopped making sense a long time ago. The actor has embodied legendary characters in Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, The Mandalorian and we’ve even seen him as the main villain in Far Cry 6. A more than interesting repertoire that he now seeks to expand by becoming one of the most iconic superheroes.
During a visit to the Jimmy Fallon show, Esposito indicated that “I love what Marvel does. I love that fans can see me in this universe and propose not just a character, possibly Magneto, possibly Mr. Freeze [DC]. And the biggest request is Charles Xavier.” Indeed, the very leader of the X-Men who has been played by Patrick Stewart for more than two decades.
“But look, I want to play a good guy. Charles is smart. He is good. But I feel like Marvel and I can move on a bit. I know I love what they do. I know I love creativity. So who knows what could happen? Keep publishing it out there,” confesses Esposito. The truth is that it would not be the interpreter’s first contact with the UCM.
During the recording of Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Kevin Feige invited Giancarlo to the set to visit him and see first-hand how superhero projects are worked on. “I’m a big fan of all those characters and that world,” Esposito said. For now, there is no confirmation as to who will use Professor X’s mental powers in the future.
