Giancarlo Esposito has appeared in many popular shows including “Breaking Bad”, “Star Wars: The Mandalorian” and “The Boyz”. Over the last few years that there have been rumours about Giancarlo Esposito joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe for years, with fans guessing that he would make a good choice as the new Charles Xavier, Doctor Doom or Magneto.

Earlier this month at the CCXP event, Giancarlo Esposito hinted that he would be appearing in a Marvel project “sooner rather than later,” and that it was “better than you can imagine.”

And while attending the 2024 Phoenix Fan Fusion convention, Giancarlo Esposito teased the audience once again that he will be soon making his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while not confiming who he will be playing, but allowing Marvel fans to guess.

“The MCU has knocked on my door and it’s a role you won’t predict. It will be teased and there will be a series afterwards.”

With Giancarlo teasing that people won’t be able to predict what character he will be playing, that has opened the door to what potential character he could be playing. While he has generally played villains, he may want to switch things up and play a hero.

It’s easy to think of major characters like Professor X or Doctor Doom, that he could play, there are plenty of others, like Mr Sinister, Acolypse, Bastion or maybe he could also be replacing Jonathan Majors as Kang. Or possibly even Mephisto, who is rumoured to be played by Sasha Baron Cohen in “Agatha All Along” and “Ironheart”, but maybe Marvel have had second thoughts since they’ve had time to do reshoots or changes.

Roger’s Take: The biggest issues is the mention of him saying he will be teased and then appearing in another Disney+, would possibly rule out some of the more well known characters like Professor X, Magneto or Doctor Doom. But without doubt, Giancarlo Esposito is extremely talented and will be excellent in the role.

Who do you think Giancarlo Esposito will be playing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Let me know on social media!
