As the Marvel Cinematic Universe marches forward, many beloved actors are receiving roles in the enormous shared universe. Now one such newly-announced MCU actor is none other than Giancarlo Esposito of Breaking Bad and The Mandalorian fame.
Many fans have speculated that Esposito could acquire a role in the MCU. After all, he already has a healthy working relationship with Disney given his appearances in the aforementioned Star Wars spin-off. Nevertheless, it took years of speculation before Esposito himself would confirm the good news.
As shared at a panel on the Thunder Stage at CCXP, Esposito delivered the news that he would be appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Collider notes, however, that Esposito also reveals that it’s a role no one could expect.
Specifically, via Collider, he claims that the full reveal will be coming “sooner rather than later.” Furthermore, Esposito added the tease that the role will be “better than you can imagine.”
Of course, the next upcoming MCU project will be the highly-anticipated Deadpool sequel Deadpool & Wolverine. As for what role he could receive if he appears in the film, however, that’s currently unknown. Many fans have suggested Esposito would make a great Professor X – though given that it’s “better than you can imagine,” that might not be the case.
Hopefully he’s right, however, and that we’ll see a full reveal of Giancarlo Esposito with his new MCU role in the near future. At that point, there will no longer be any need for speculation. As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to grow, and even incorporate brands like X-Men and the Fantastic Four, the possibilities are certainly becoming limitless. Especially with great actors like Esposito in the mix.
