Giancarlo Esposito Reveals He Passed On Loki For A Bigger MCU Role

Giancarlo Esposito opens up about passing on a role in Loki in the hopes that he'd nab a bigger one in the MCU. With a long acting resume, the actor is known for iconic films like Do The Right Thing, Malcolm X, and the Maze Runner franchise. In recent years, however, Esposito has pivoted his focus to TV roles by playing Gus Fring in Breaking Bad and its prequel show, Better Call Saul, as well as assuming the role of Moff Gideon on Disney+'s The Mandalorian.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The actor isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Despite a packed schedule, he's also looking to join the MCU. Esposito has been vocal about wanting to work with Marvel Studios, even recently confirming that he's had talks with Kevin Feige and his team, although he didn't reveal what role it was for. He hasn't shared any specifics about it, or whether or not there's a chance that it's going to pan out anytime soon.

Esposito's hopes of joining the MCU have been the talk of the town recently as he re-emphasizes his desire to play Professor X. After Disney acquired Fox's TV and movie assets, Marvel Studios regained the rights to the mutants and all their tie-in characters, which means that it's only a matter of time before they are introduced in the MCU.

Whether Esposito ultimately gets cast in the MCU as Professor X remains to be seen. Despite the first clear set-up for the mutants' arrival coming in Ms. Marvel, Marvel Studios remains mum about their plans for Charles Xavier and his team. There were hopes that Feige's vision for them would be laid out at San Diego Comic-Con, but that didn't pan out. Perhaps it can happen at D23.

Maybe a Loki variant

Probably for the best. Tom Hiddleston was probably a better fit for the role
