Not many actors have their name floated around MCU roles more than Giancarlo Esposito. A popular fancast for Charles Xavier, Esposito has never shied away from his desire to find the right Marvel Studios role. Now it seems he has.

During a panel at CCXP, Esposito revealed he has agreed to a deal with Marvel Studios though he did not reveal which character he’ll be portraying.

While Esposito is, understandably, keeping his role under wraps, he did say that while it is NOT Professor X, he’s set to show up “sooner rather than later.” Teasing that his mystery role is “better than you can imagine”, the star chose to leave it at that. Let the fancasta begin…or continue.
