Furthermore, the actor himself started to circulate potential casting rumors in a recent chat with Entertainment Tonight. Helping promote Far Cry 6, Esposito suggested working with Marvel Studios would be the next step in his career.

“There’s been all these rumors about being with Marvel. I want to work with those guys, I’ve put it out into the world,” the actor said. “I haven’t created any of those rumors, but I worked years ago with [Marvel Studios co-president and executive producer] Louis D’Esposito … back when he was doing [The] Cotton Club, he was [second assistant director].”

Long-Term Doom

If Giancarlo Esposito is going to the MCU, he should play Doctor Doom.
He would absolutely crush that role & they could keep him for a long time.

Only Logical Choice

when the MCU and Sony get around to casting Norman Osborn the only logical choice is Giancarlo Esposito.

Thank you for agreeing with my tweet.

Can you guys imagine Giancarlo Esposito playing the MCU’s Professor X and Bryan Cranston – Magneto?

Doc Ock

If they wanted to bring in Doctor Octopus into the MCU, I can’t think of a better actor to play him than Giancarlo Esposito
