I really do not get the fancasts for Giancarlo Esposito as Doctor Doom, Green Goblin, or Magneto
Mr. Freeze maybe a little, but all of those characters require such boisterous sides Esposito hasn’t shown in any of his roles
If anything his mannerisms fit Professor X a LOT more pic.twitter.com/YfhTf8Pvsu

I am absolutely ok with Giancarlo Esposito as Professor X. I bet he's gonna love being a good guy for once too. Looking forward to this if the rumors are true. He's an excellent actor.

Giancarlo Esposito is always typecasted as a villain (because he’s a damn good one) and I’d be stoked to have him as the new Professor X. It would be a master stroke imo. https://t.co/A7RbM2swMv

Absolutely not Giancarlo Esposito as Professor X that feels so wrong, now, him as Magneto feels a lot better https://t.co/166xzK97fY

Giancarlo Esposito was always a fan-favorite option for characterizing either Professor X or his nemesis, Magneto, as shown by some surprising fan art that was published back in 2020. Fans need to wait to know if the rumors about this and one more character being the fresh members of the X-Men family is true or not when SDCC unravels next week as that is seemingly when the rumored statements will take place.
Marvel will make a merry return to San Diego Comic-Con from July 21 through July 24.
