For years, fans have dreamed of seeing Giancarlo Esposito play a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Esposito recently revealed that this dream has come true, teasing fans with the announcement of a “new, original and fresh” character that would be revealed “sooner than you think.” He wasn’t wrong.
An Unexpected and Original Role
During the CCXP24Esposito said: “Wouldn’t you like to see me play a character in a Marvel movie that’s original, new and fresh? Mark my words: this will happen sooner than you think.” The news was confirmed by Murphy’s Multiverse, which revealed that Esposito will appear in “Captain America: Brave New World.”
A significant part of Captain America: Brave New World was filmed in 2023 before work shutdowns in Hollywood forced production to halt. During this hiatus, Marvel Studios executives decided that the project needed a major overhaul and brought in screenwriter Matthew Orton to assemble a script for additional filming. It seems that the character of Esposito, who appears as a chaotic agent antagonist, was added by Orton himself.

Esposito said during the Phoenix Fan Fusion 2024: “The MCU has knocked on my door and the role is not what you expect. It will be brought forward and there will be a follow-up series.” The actor has thrived as a disruptive force on screen for nearly 20 years. He played one of TV’s greatest villains as Gus Fring in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul and continued to make his mark as Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian, the corrupt Stan Edgar in The Boys and, recently, Stanley Johnson in Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen.
