Giancarlo Esposito eyes Professor X role, revealing talks with Marvel Studios about a potential MCU role.
The MCU is quickly expanding with new shows like Ms. Marvel and films like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness being major hits for Marvel Studios. At San Diego Comic-Con last month, fans got more information about the future of Phase 4, 5, and 6 now dubbed "The Multiverse Saga". One of the more notable films is Fantastic Four, but there are eight spots to fill in Phase 6.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY According to AV Club, Esposito revealed that he’s “been in a room and talked” about joining the MCU during an appearance at TJH Superhero Car Show & Comic Con in San Antonio, Texas this weekend. He didn’t specify what part he was in talks for but did acknowledge people wanting him to play villains like Magneto and Doctor Doom. However, the actor said he would prefer a more heroic role like Professor X if he had his way.
Esposito has made a career out of playing villains; he famously portrayed Gus Fring in Breaking Bad, Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian, and Antón Castillo in the game Far Cry 6. As a result, it’s understandable why Esposito would rather play a hero in the MCU. The actor can play one heck of a villain, however, keeping things fresh is key for any actor’s prolonged success.
While we wait to see if Esposito will be Professor X, Magneto, Doctor Doom, or even in the MCU at all, you can catch up on everything Marvel on Disney+ now. Check out Collider's interview with Esposito about his roles in The Boys Season 2 and The Mandalorian Season 2 below:
