Giancarlo Esposito has become a veteran actor ever since his role as the Breaking Bad anti-hero Gus Fring. Considered to be a cold, humble, and yet fierce character, the fans quickly took their attention to each word said by the “chicken man”.

It is now up to the mind of Giancarlo Esposito to decide which mantle to take up.

In a TikTok video shared by @countdowncitygeeks, the actor states the multitude of roles that he has been offered or the roles that he would like to portray in both Marvel as well as DC.
“So, I have not worked for Marvel yet. I’ve been in a room with them and talked with them, and to answer your question, I think what they do is on the lines of that mythological journey that Joe Campbell talked about, who happened to be a friend of George Lucas that George Lucas put into his stories. They do the same thing.”
The actor also spoke about the roles that he would like to portray:
“So, there’s been talk of Magneto, there’s been talk of Dr. Freeze, there has been talk of, who else are they talking about over there? Oh, Doom! And there is Professor X. Pick one? I’m going to go for something that is a little bit different. I’m going to go and put it out in the universe that it is Professor X.”
Although preferring to play the heroic character of Charles Xavier, the actor suits best when he is portraying an antagonist and is on the verge of almost killing a person with his deadly stare. Although The Boys actor has picked out his favorite role to play, here’s why Giancarlo Esposito would definitely nail the role of Mr. Freeze from the DCEU.
