Giancarlo Esposito Joins The Marvel Cinematic Universe

Here’s a piece of news we didn’t expect during the weekend: Breaking Bad actor Giancarlo Esposito will be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

During a panel on the Thunder Stage at CCXP, Giancarlo said that he will be appearing in a Marvel project, but not as the theorized fan cast Professor X. He will be playing a different role that will be revealed sooner rather than later, and “better than you can imagine”.

So, Doctor Doom? One can hope! Apart from playing the iconic “chicken man” drug lord Gustavo Fring in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Giancarlo has also played Moff Gideon in the Star Wars universe and voiced Lex Luthor in the Harley Quinn animated series. He will also reprise is role as Stan Edgar in the fourth season of The Boys.
