There's one major reason why GiancarloEsposito is so interested in playing ProfessorX for Marvel.

Thanks to his roles in Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and The Mandalorian, Giancarlo Esposito is a name fans often throw out when it comes to speculating about iconic comic book characters coming to life, but the actor himself would most be interested in embracing the X-Men's Charles Xavier, as he's already played so many nefarious characters.

The more support that audiences show for actors taking on specific roles doesn't always work in everyone's favor, as eventual reveals that a different actor has been selected for such a role can result in mixed reactions from audiences. On the other hand, passionate fan support has also made such casting choices happen, as in the case of Jim Krasinski becoming Reed Richards in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

"There aren't any discussions at all, the only discussion I had was actually in the second-to-last week of Jack Ryan," the actor revealed to The Wrap last month."Kevin Feige called and said would you ever fly to L.A. and play in our sandbox for a day? I was honored to do it. I flew right from Budapest when we wrapped and went right to the Doctor Strange set.
