Esposito has played lots of memorable bad guys in popular shows recently, like Breaking Bad, The Mandalorian, The Boys, and even Community. He’s also done voices for superhero cartoons, like Harley Quinn, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Son of Batman, and Batman: Assault on Arkham.
We don’t know who Esposito will play in Brave New World yet, but fans have always loved the idea of him playing big Marvel movie characters like Magneto, Professor X, Galactus, or Doctor Doom.
Esposito hinted at a future Marvel role at Phoenix Fan Fusion earlier this week, saying,
“The MCU has reached out to me, and it’s a role you won’t expect. There will be hints, and a series will follow.”
Esposito expresses his excitement about his new role.
Earlier, at CCXP in Mexico City on May 3, he said he wouldn’t be playing Charles Xavier, but the role is “better than you can imagine” and we’d hear about it “sooner than you think.”
Esposito is having a busy 2024. He played a villain in the horror movie Abigail and has a big part in Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, which premiered at Cannes this month. He’ll also be in the horror movie MaXXXine with Mia Goth and voice a character in the Russo brothers’ The Electric State. On TV, Esposito starred in the six-episode series Parish and appeared in Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen.

Captain America: Brave New World continues the story from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie, is now Captain America after questioning if he was good enough in the 2021 Disney+ series. Julius Onah directs the movie and will bring back characters from the 2008 movie The Incredible Hulk. These characters include Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson), Betty Ross (Liv Tyler), and Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (now played by Harrison Ford, after the original actor William Hurt passed away).
After several delays, Captain America: Brave New World will finally hit theaters on February 14, 2025. For further insights and news about it, stay tuned to our website.
