Giancarlo Esposito Teases Captain Role
At CCXP in Mexico City on May 3, Giancarlo Esposito, who has played memorable villains in Breaking Bad, The Mandalorian, and The Boys, confirmed he won’t be playing Charles Xavier but that the role is “better than you can imagine.” Earlier this week, Esposito teased his role in the MCU project at the Phoenix Fan Fusion, saying, “The MCU has knocked on my door, and it’s a role you won’t predict. It will be teased, and there will be a series afterwards.”
As Giancarlo Esposito’s Captain America character remains under wraps, Screen Rant reported that the sequel, directed by Julius Onah, will incorporate several supporting characters from 2008’s The Incredible Hulk.
After the actor’s death, Harrison Ford will step into William Hurt’s shoes as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. Liv Tyler will reportedly reprise her role as Elizabeth Ross, and the sequel will also see the return of Tim Blake Nelson as Samuel Sterns, aka The Leader.
