Ask the common particular person what high-profile actor ought to join the MCU that already hasn’t, and Giancarlo Esposito will likely be one of many widespread solutions. Of us have needed the Breaking Dangerous star to be part of the superhero franchise for years, and it apppears they’ll lastly get their want—however solely up to a degree.
Throughout a panel this weekend’s CCXP in Brazil, Esposito revealed he’ll be popping up in a future MCU venture. He was naturally quiet on which one, however he did describe the function as “higher than you’ll be able to think about,” and one which’s prone to be revealed pretty quickly. He additionally revealed the character he’s taking part in isn’t one that folk are inclined to fancast him as, which appears like one other method of claiming that no, it received’t be Professor X within the X-Males motion pictures to return.
Let’s assume that “quickly” means “San Diego Comedian-Con” and break down some potential spots for him to point out up. Film-wise, the one actual decisions we’ve acquired Improbable 4, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Blade. We all know Galactus goes to be part of the previous, and Esposito definitely has the voice for him, if not a male model of the Silver Surfer, much like what Laurence Fishburne did in 2007. Deadpool is a bit trickier since, assuming the movie received’t simply have him be a Professor X variant (like how Physician Unusual 2 dealt with Reed Richards), he could possibly be a minor (for the movie) villain like Mr. Sinister. And in Blade? Nicely, since he can’t simply be one other model of Blade alongside Mahershala Ali, the one actual choices that leaves us with are Whistler or Dracula.
Of the candidates listed above, Galactus feels just like the most definitely reply. Not solely wouldn’t it add to Esposito’s already sizable voice appearing reel, it’s the function of a giant villain who would doubtless find yourself showing once more in one thing like What If? or one other film down the road. That very same reasoning applies for Silver Surfer or Blade, however these include caveats: if Improbable 4 did have Norrid Radd seem, it probbaly wouldn’t be for lengthy since Julia Garner’s Shalla-Bal is claimed to be extra distinguished. And whereas it’d be cool to have him chomp throats and rock black leather-based in Blade, that film seems cursed and would in all probability lose him as quickly because it acquired him.
All that is assuming that Esposito’s prone to present up in one of many motion pictures we learn about; for all we all know, he might simply simply be Norman Osborn whoever else. Tell us within the feedback under who you thinik he’ll find yourself taking part in.
