BREAKING BAD Star Giancarlo Esposito Reiterates His Interest In Playing The MCU's Professor X

Better Call Saul star Giancarlo Esposito has reiterated his interest in playing Professor X, explaining that he's desperate to play a good guy. Despite that, Magneto and Mr. Freeze remain of interest!

Giancarlo Esposito is, without a doubt, phenomenal at playing villains. We've seen that in everything from Breaking Bad to The Boys and Far Cry 6, but it appears The Mandalorian star is ready to be a hero. 

During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Esposito reiterated his desire to bring Professor X to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while also namedropping Magneto and Mister Freeze as two villains he would also consider lending his talents to. 

"I love what Marvel does. I love that the fans can see me in this universe and are proposing not only one character, possibly Magneto, possibly [Mister] Freeze," the actor says in the video below. "And the biggest ask is Charles Xavier. But, look, I want to play a good guy. And Charles is smart. He’s good."

"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."

We find it hard to believe Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige hasn't taken note of these repeated comments, and it would be a major missed opportunity to not work with him in some capacity down the line. Professor X has often been portrayed as somewhat morally ambiguous, meaning it would be a great role for Esposito to sink his teeth into. 

Marvel Studios appears to be in no rush to reboot the X-Men franchise, though the prevailing theory is that they'll be a huge part of the next Saga of storytelling after Avengers: Secret Wars

The current Krokoa era of comic books would be a clever way of putting a fresh spin on the team, though there will be fans who want to see a classic take on them as well (which may be too similar to what Fox did with the characters).
