The reboot of the DC Universe has attracted many actors to the new superhero continuity, including The Mandalorian's Giancarlo Esposito. The actor recently revealed that he has met with DC Studio's James Gunn about the possibility of joining the cinematic universe.
X (formerly Twitter) user Mint Doom recently shared a clip of Esposito speaking during an appearance at the Comic Con Panama, where the actor revealed that he has spoken to Gunn about a role in the rebooted DCEU.
While he didn't confirm that he is joining the movie franchise, he did say that it may happen soon. I had been talking to James Gunn about the possibility of being in a [DC] movie," Esposito shared. "So who knows, it could happen soon."
The user also revealed that Esposito answered several questions during the Q&A. The actor said that he is aware of the Charles Xavier, Magneto, and Mr. Freeze fan castings. However, the Breaking Bad star revealed that he would rather play a superhero than a villain.
Esposito also said that he is very confident that he will be hired by Marvel or DC soon. There are a lot of projects within the DC Universe that still do not have cast members at the moment and Esposito may possibly land a role in a movie or TV show.
