We know Giancarlo Esposito has been cast in the MCU, but new Barside Buzz says that his debut appearance will be in Captain America: Brave New World. Esposito himself teased a brief appearance somewhere before eventually appearing in a Disney+ series. However, Charles Murphy claims that this debut appearance will be in the new Captain America movie, currently undergoing reshoots and set to release in early 2025.
As per Murphy’s Multiverse;
‘Murphy’s Multiverse can confirm that Giancarlo Esposito is set to appear in Captain America: Brave New World‘
‘A significant portion of Captain America: Brave New World was filmed in 2023 before the Hollywood work stoppage forced the production to go on pause. During that time, Marvel Studios execs determined that the project needed a major overhaul and brought writer Matthew Orton on board to assemble a script for reshoots. It would seem that Esposito‘s character, who appears as an antagonistic agent of chaos in the film, was added by Orton.’

As you can imagine fans have been theorizing about who Esposito night play that could carry forward. Sadly, there is little if any consensus because Esposito has indicated he is playing an original character. That could mean a combination of comic book characters merged, as we’ve seen that before. Or, simply a made up character never appearing in the comics at all.
Murphy did go on to say on social media that you can rule out Doctor Doom, Norman Osborn, or Magneto. All three had been either mentioned by Esposito himself or been fan cast by fans.
I do love Esposito as an actor. Therefore I hope this is not a wasted opportunity to play businessman number four or something equally disappointing. He’s better than that. The most compelling theory I’ve seen so far is that he will play the head of Roxxon industries. Which, may, or may not be Daniel Agger from the comic books. Roxxon has been teased in the MCU already and we know Brave New World deals with the discovery or Adamantium. However, that means absolutley nothing at this point.
What do you think of the rumor Giancarlo Esposito will make his MCU debut in Captain America: Brave New World? As always, leave any thoughts, or theories below.
