Esposito himself has additionally expressed curiosity in becoming a member of the cinematic universe following his stint in Star Wars. While he’s been solid as nearly each Marvel character underneath the solar by followers, one explicit comedian ebook creation that appears to have caught is Charles Xavier, the chief of the X-Men.
Giancarlo Esposito has been no stranger in touting his ardour for enjoying Charles Xavier within the MCU, talking of his need to carry the character to life all the best way again in 2022.
