Since then, Esposito’s desire to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been known. In particular, there were rumors of a potential role as Professor X in the X-Men reboot. Now, Esposito has finally confirmed that he’s joining the MCU, but his role is still a secret.

He also suggested that he would be playing a character that has not been portrayed in a Marvel movie or TV series before.
“I can’t tell you I’m going to be Professor X. I can say that I will be an original character. We’ve seen different versions of Professor X. Would you like to see me playing a Marvel movie character as an original, new and fresh character? So mark my words: It will happen sooner than you think.”
