Giancarlo Esposito -- known for playing such characters as Gustavo Fring on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, and Moff Gideon on Disney+'s live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian -- believes he will be making his way to Marvel Studios at some point in the near future.
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Esposito commented on recent rumors that he was in talks for a role in a Marvel Studios production. While those rumors don't appear to be true, the actor says he would like to work with the studio. "Well, there's been all these rumors about being with Marvel, I want to work with those guys," Esposito said.
He continued, "I put it out there all the time. I haven't created any of those rumors, but I worked years ago with Louis D'Esposito, who's one of the guys at Marvel, back when he was doing Cotton Club and I was doing Cotton Club, he was the First A.D. What they do is fantastic, and I want to do something enduring with them... I think the Marvel world would be, likely, the next step for me."
Esposito has certainly played key roles in a lot of high-profile projects as of late. In addition to The Mandalorian, which is gearing up for Season 2 and Better Call Saul, which will air its sixth and final season next year, he appears as Stan Edgar on Amazon Prime's The Boys, itself set to begin its second season later this year. He is also set to portray antagonist Anton Castillo in Ubisoft's upcoming video game Far Cry 6. With that in mind, Esposito making his way to the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a definite possibility, especially given his enthusiasm. That being said, however, it does not appear as though he is currently attached to any Marvel project.
