Giancarlo Esposito has met with Marvel Studios and is eager to portray one legendary mutant.

Giancarlo Esposito (The Mandalorian, The Boys) has found himself on many fan-castings for Marvel Studios’ upcoming X-MEN projects, particularly for the roles of Professor X and Magneto. The actor recently revealed at the TJH Superhero Car Show & Comic Con that he indeed met with the engineers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to discuss potential roles in the future.

“So, there’s been talk of Magneto, there’s been talk of Dr. Freeze, there has been talk of, who else are they talking about over there? Oh, Doom! And there is Professor X,” he said. When asked about which role he’s interested in tackling, he responded “Pick one? I’m going to go for something that is a little bit different. I’m going to go and put it out in the universe that it is Professor X.”

Esposito is well-known for playing villainous types with gravitas. It’s no surprise the actor would like to do something different and portray the leader of the X-Men over the iconic villain. If we’re being honest, Doctor Doom or DC’s Mr. Freeze would be pretty awesome too!
