The Mandalorian star Giancarlo Esposito remains a favorite to play Professor X in the project and his recent Marvel revelation gave fans renewed hope that he is one step closer to becoming the mutant patriarch. The actor confirmed last August that he’s in fact been in talks with Marvel Studios but they’ve yet to finalize a deal. Now, should Esposito actually get cast for the role, what look from the comics could he end up getting? Instagram artist @subi.ozil shared a marvelous artwork on Instagram depicting the Better Call Saul actor as Charles Xavier wearing his unique costume from the House of X storyline and I gotta say, while it’s far from traditional, I think it actually works.
