Fans Speculate Giancarlo Esposito as a Potential Professor X or Magneto in the X-Men Films
Ever since Disney completed its acquisition of Fox in 2019, fans of the X-Men franchise have been eagerly awaiting the return of their beloved mutants to the big screen.
The X-Men’s future is still unknown, despite some recent teases and cameos, but that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating about the possibilities.
A popular choice among fans is actor Giancarlo Esposito.
The multi-talented actor, known for his roles in Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, The Boys and The Mandalorian, has been suggested as a potential contender for two of the most iconic roles in the X-Men franchise: Professor Charles Xavier and his nemesis Magneto.
With Professor Xavier serving as the X-Men’s leader and founder and Magneto as a potent mutant with a complicated past and motivations, both characters are essential to the X-Men universe.
Esposito’s acting ability and range make him a strong contender for both roles, and his previous experience in the television and film genres makes him a solid contender for the X-Men universe.
While there’s no official word on when the X-Men will return to the big screen, fans can rest easy knowing that actors more than capable of portraying these beloved characters will bring the canvas to life.
One of them is undoubtedly Giancarlo Esposito, who has an impressive body of work and a loyal fan base.
Esposito Love What X-Men Do
Giancarlo Esposito appeared on Tuesday’s The Tonight Show, expressing interest in the roles of both Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto in the X-Men franchise.
He stated that while he would be excited to play either role, he has a slight preference for the more heroic character of Professor X because he has already played so many villainous characters in his career.
Esposito also added that he would love to bring his own unique interpretation and depth to the character of Professor X, if given the opportunity.
“I want to play a good guy,” Esposito said in a sitdown interview with host Jimmy Fallon.
“Charles is smart. He’s good. But I feel as if there may be some mileage with me and Marvel. I know I love what they do. I know I love creativity. So who knows what could happen? Keep putting it out there.”Read More
