Giancarlo Esposito as the New Professor X?
Giancarlo Esposito has confirmed that he has been in a meeting with Marvel Studios, “I’ve been in a room with [Marvel Studios] and talked with them” and also said that though he has not been introduced in the superhero world, if he ever played any superhero role he would want to play Professor X. When asked which of the characters he would like to play most, Esposito responded, “I’m going to go and put it out in the universe that it is Professor X.”
As we know that Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige are completely rebooting the X-Men, but the cast has not been selected yet. So there is a possibility that Giancarlo Esposito could be cast as Charles Xavier. In a talk show, The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, Esposito said that he wanted to play the good guy for once. He also said that Charles Xavier is a good role for him and later Esposito added, “Charles is smart, he’s good. But I feel as if there may be some mileage with me and Marvel.”
Giancarlo Esposito has been playing the bad guy in many shows such as Gus Fring or as Moff Gideon – the bad guy’s role just suits him best. Though Xavier is the people’s hero, deep inside him there is a far darker side than anyone can imagine. One version of Professor X even became a multiverse killer of heroes and targeted other Charles Xaviers to power his Cerebro.
