There was a video of someone filming giancarlo and the op claimed they had been following him in their car all day but it seems that the post was deleted
Every actor’s goal is to make it to the MCU. Soon Robert Di Niro’s last movie will be him playing a minor government character in Avengers 5: The New Age and then he dies
Why doesn't Scorsese go to the MCU instead of complaining, apologize to Feige and make a movie with The Punisher? !!"
A real conversation I had with a Marvel fanboy.
Could you imagine Scorsese trying to direct a Marvel movie? He'd either quit the first day or die of heart failure when he has to try and director an actor who's having a conversation with a tennis ball that's going to be a CGI character after the VFX is done.
Now we NEED Scorsese to direct a film about the rise and fall of Hydra in the MCU. Make it like Goodfellas and Casino (idk I have never seen them) but put lots of fights in otherwise it will be boring.
Spider-Man quips in a room full of gangsters.
Random gangster: You can’t talk to us like that!
Robert De Niro turns around ominously: I think he’s talkin to me… you are Talkin to Me, right.
10 minutes of silence so the audience can clap
Let's be real, Lee would rise from the grave is *anyone* gave him a casting call.
The guy was a passionate actor and would appear in utter shit (For example the old Captain America 2) just to be in front of a camera for five minutes.
Raul Julia did Street Fighter for his kids. Considering he knew he had cancer at the time I think he would have enjoyed shooting that movie in Australia with his family. You're right though, life isn't fair.
De Niro’s career has had a bit of a resurgence, or at least he seems to be motivated to be in ambitious and interesting projects again
*The Irishman* and arguably *Joker* were a good start, and *Amsterdam, Killers Of The Flower Moon* and *About My Father* should all be fantastic
reddit fancast is usually just the same three tv shows that reddit watches currently, with zero regard if they are a good fit for the role or not. back when GoT was hot that was all they had for fancast.
also always love the "actor who looks vaguely like the character but otherwise has a totally different vibe"
Video game subs are always like this. It's always "actor who looks vaguely alike" or "Danny Devito" because redditors are super fucking hilarious comedians
I saw someone comment on Twitter that he could deliver a more grey/neutral version of Professor X. Now if Marvel would actually commit to making grey/neutral characters that'd be perfect but in this anti-hero economy, it's probably unlikely.
He absolutely has the gravitas to play it, too. He has a sort of Shakespearean actor style, similar to Patrick Stewart.
He's good at playing villains, but Hollywood have typecast the shit out of him and it's boring now
I mean if they're going with the current version of the X-Men, he is basically a villain (along with most of the mutants now), the question is are they going to be aware of the fact that he's acting evil or are they gonna be like the writer of said current comics and either ignore or not understand that he's being evil.
Dude has been acting for decades, not just on Breaking Bad. With this role he might escape a little of the (kinda recent) typecasting thats happening to him, cuz there's no way Xavier will be like Giancarlo's recent roles
**Tl;dr: He's a good actor and this might be a good way to escape the typecasting yall whine about**
> cuz there's no way Xavier will be like Giancarlo's recent roles
[Marvel is afraid of doing dirtbag Chuck](https://www.looper.com/img/gallery/the-most-terrible-things-professor-x-has-ever-done/intro.jpg) like the Fox films would occasionally do.
I don’t mind Giancarlo typecasting the man plays a terrifying villain every time. He was also the best part of Far Cry 6. He would kick ass as doom or kang
He can join such legendary actors showcasing their talents as Christopher Eccleston, Lawrence Fishburne, Sam Rockwell and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Marvel is so good at utilizing talent
Take that back. Sam Rockwell utilised every ounce of talent in Hollywood bringing Hammer to life. Literally the only reason to watch Iron Man 2 more than once.
I love how they tease Chiwetel to be a huge villain of the MCU with the “no more sorcerers” line and then gave him a grand total of 2 minutes screentime in MOM
The original character doesn't even show up (they were going to kill him off in an opening scene, but cut it). He plays an alternate universe version who is there to trap Doctor Strange, make a speech about how Doctor Strange sucks actually and get in a 30 second fight scene
They've re-used Gemma Chan after she played a boring one-note character in Captain Marvel but they screwed Eccleston so bad with Thor 2 that they'd never got him back.
To mind, Eccleston had to skip the Doctor Who 50th anniversary despite having changed him mind on returning to the series (John Hurt's War Doctor was supposed to be Eccleston's Ninth) but they had him stay on the production of The Dark World only to cut almost all of his scenes and needing him so little that he could have taken part in The Day of the Doctor but he'd already been written out.
"Yo' Mr. White. I have Adamantium claws, now."
"Poor Caleb. He doesn't realize it's another fidelity test."
"Should we tell him?"
"Nah. We'll get back to him."
Normally, I’d be down for this exclusively for the monumental meltdown of a black ~~hispanic~~ man playing prof X, but he’s also a fantastic actor and I could genuinely see him playing a great prof x
Edit: not hispanic
They decided that blackwashing a Jewish Holocaust survivor was a terrible decision and are considering making Professor X black instead. Sanity is not dead yet.
Yes. Esposito, who is black, would be hypothetically playing a Professor X from the United States (or elsewhere, but odds are that a reimagining of him would give him an American origin).
he is good guy, but that doesn't mean he is *good* guy, he's admitted to having a crush on jean in some comics and that he thinks he deserves cyclops killing him in the avengers vs x-men thing iirc and that overall scott makes a better leader for mutants as a midpoint between his and magneto's views
Well my point was Professor X isn’t the usual Giancarlo “not-Gus-Fring” thing that he always plays. Which is what OP is seeming to imply.
Besides, no way in hell Disney would include the “crush on Gene” thing
Check out Night on Earth or Do the Right Thing. Giancarlo is good at playing quietly menacing sophisticated types but that's not *all* he's good at. Dude has range.
Why cant a character just be the race they were created in. We have diversity in the comics. No need to invent it. If they cast storm as a white guy the internet would break
That’s not going to happen if that guy on r/okbuddychicanery who has been following giancarlo around decides to act
“That guy on r/okaybuddychicanery” oh sweetie you think it’s just one person?
Haven't been on there in a while because I wanted to be able to take s6 seriously, mind filling me in on what the FUCK that means?
I'm afraid it's exactly what it sounds like
Nah you can't just say this and not give context wtf
There was a video of someone filming giancarlo and the op claimed they had been following him in their car all day but it seems that the post was deleted
And HE gets to be a stalker? What a sick joke!
You don't understand. Giancarlo defecated through his sun roof.
Really says a lot about BB's influence that its jerk sub has almost 150k members.
I had to unsub from there because some of the things people would post were actually a bit concerning or just extremely unfunny
The first vore 'joke' was kinda funny, shock value and all. The 43+rd 'joke' is just concerning. Still subbed tho
This is the moment Huell ate Kim
The Fanatic (2019)
Every actor’s goal is to make it to the MCU. Soon Robert Di Niro’s last movie will be him playing a minor government character in Avengers 5: The New Age and then he dies
Cast him as a random mafioso. Make Scorsese direct it. Give him full control. Watch de box office explode

wait until this guy hears about how they cheat eyelines shooting coverage in films that don't have green CGI goats in them
Now we NEED Scorsese to direct a film about the rise and fall of Hydra in the MCU. Make it like Goodfellas and Casino (idk I have never seen them) but put lots of fights in otherwise it will be boring.

r/woooosh
Spider-Man quips in a room full of gangsters. Random gangster: You can’t talk to us like that! Robert De Niro turns around ominously: I think he’s talkin to me… you are Talkin to Me, right. 10 minutes of silence so the audience can clap
He's talkin' to me right behind me, isn't he?
I instinctively went to down vote this, because people say this kinda shit on r/movies unironically
Scorsese directing it is not as improbable as Marvel giving full control
Daniel Day Lewis would come out of retirement if Marvel would just give him a call.
Christopher Lee would rise from the grave if Marvel would give him a casting call
Knowing that the MCU never got their dirty, grimy little hands on Kit Lee is truly one of the blessings left to us in this awful world.
Let's be real, Lee would rise from the grave is *anyone* gave him a casting call. The guy was a passionate actor and would appear in utter shit (For example the old Captain America 2) just to be in front of a camera for five minutes.
I still cannot believe that Robert *fucking* Redford’s last movie will be Avengers: Endgame
Orson Welles went out with Transformers and Raul Julia died after Street Fighter, lol. Life isn't fair.
Tbf Raul Julia supposedly took that gig for his kids.
Raul Julia did Street Fighter for his kids. Considering he knew he had cancer at the time I think he would have enjoyed shooting that movie in Australia with his family. You're right though, life isn't fair.
Honestly at least Street Fighter has kitsch appeal.
His likeness was used for HBO's Watchmen so rest assured his last appearance was for capekino.
That was his choice. Not like Marvel tricked him into it
wasn't it the old man and the gun?
Yes it is, Endgame was released after Old Man and the Gun, but filmed before it.
oh okay, i see.
Flashbacks to Tommy Lee Jones being cast Captain America 1 for no fucking reason.
Waste of a great actor that could've played Cyclops
It's retirement for actors. You're making 10 mill on your second feature for 4 months of being on wires infront of greenscreens.
“You had your chance to kill Kang—and you BLEW IT! *YOU BLEW IT!!*”
DeNiro could do worse with his current career trajectory.
De Niro’s career has had a bit of a resurgence, or at least he seems to be motivated to be in ambitious and interesting projects again *The Irishman* and arguably *Joker* were a good start, and *Amsterdam, Killers Of The Flower Moon* and *About My Father* should all be fantastic
Hollywood's Nirvana
I like how you say Avengers 5 jokingly but there literally is gonna be an Avengers 5. Called Kang Dynasty.
Joke aside, this is sad af
Oh my God! Professor X can read minds. Gus can finally know whether I’ve had gay thoughts.
Professor X breed Gale
/r/fancast is gonna shutdown if this happens. He's the only reason they're still going.
I clicked on that sub and the first thing I see is Robert Pattinson cast as The Hulk 💀
The only one I saw that wasn’t terrible was Micheal Shannon as Frankenstein’s Monster.
His forehead would really make life easier for the makeup department
Dude that sub is fucking hilarious. The picks are so bad it's genuinely upsetting me
reddit fancast is usually just the same three tv shows that reddit watches currently, with zero regard if they are a good fit for the role or not. back when GoT was hot that was all they had for fancast. also always love the "actor who looks vaguely like the character but otherwise has a totally different vibe"
Video game subs are always like this. It's always "actor who looks vaguely alike" or "Danny Devito" because redditors are super fucking hilarious comedians
poor giancarlo is typecast by everyone as villains, he says he wants to play a hero and everyone tells him no
Seriously. I wpuld love to see him as Professor X. It would be nice to see him in a role that isn't just another portayal of his Gustavo persona
He just needs to hit Spike Lee up.
I saw someone comment on Twitter that he could deliver a more grey/neutral version of Professor X. Now if Marvel would actually commit to making grey/neutral characters that'd be perfect but in this anti-hero economy, it's probably unlikely.
He absolutely has the gravitas to play it, too. He has a sort of Shakespearean actor style, similar to Patrick Stewart. He's good at playing villains, but Hollywood have typecast the shit out of him and it's boring now
I'm going to create my own movie franchise and set the multiverse right away and made 300 movies about heroes all starring Esposito as the good guy
I mean if they're going with the current version of the X-Men, he is basically a villain (along with most of the mutants now), the question is are they going to be aware of the fact that he's acting evil or are they gonna be like the writer of said current comics and either ignore or not understand that he's being evil.

And Giancarlo deserves the fucking monumental bag they will give him
I dunno, they could be playing the more quietly manipulative man-with-a-plan House of X Xavier
> cuz there's no way Xavier will be like Giancarlo's recent roles [Marvel is afraid of doing dirtbag Chuck](https://www.looper.com/img/gallery/the-most-terrible-things-professor-x-has-ever-done/intro.jpg) like the Fox films would occasionally do.

I love his typecast. But Ik he doesn’t. He obviously enjoys the money but I feel like he knows he can offer way more range as an actor
Don't think most actors would enjoy being typecast, you get into acting to experience different characters and roles.
Guy needs to become a character actor in Spike Lee movies or some shit, fuck Marvel
"Become"? You haven't seen Do the Right Thing?
He can join such legendary actors showcasing their talents as Christopher Eccleston, Lawrence Fishburne, Sam Rockwell and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Marvel is so good at utilizing talent
Take that back. Sam Rockwell utilised every ounce of talent in Hollywood bringing Hammer to life. Literally the only reason to watch Iron Man 2 more than once.
Mads Mikkelsen as well. The villain Kaecilius will be remembered for years to come.
I love how they tease Chiwetel to be a huge villain of the MCU with the “no more sorcerers” line and then gave him a grand total of 2 minutes screentime in MOM
Wait, what did he do in MOM
The original character doesn't even show up (they were going to kill him off in an opening scene, but cut it). He plays an alternate universe version who is there to trap Doctor Strange, make a speech about how Doctor Strange sucks actually and get in a 30 second fight scene
Bro I genuinely didn’t know Christopher Eccleston was in the MCU until I read this comment
What, you didn't remember his career defining role as "mean albino elf"? Fucking fake fans, I swear
They've re-used Gemma Chan after she played a boring one-note character in Captain Marvel but they screwed Eccleston so bad with Thor 2 that they'd never got him back. To mind, Eccleston had to skip the Doctor Who 50th anniversary despite having changed him mind on returning to the series (John Hurt's War Doctor was supposed to be Eccleston's Ninth) but they had him stay on the production of The Dark World only to cut almost all of his scenes and needing him so little that he could have taken part in The Day of the Doctor but he'd already been written out.
Damn, now I hate Thor 2 even more. It denied me more Ninth Doctor
So much make up and so little material to work with they could've just picked a extra to play him
It's the biggest waste of talent in the MCU for me personally.
I have met with Marvel Studios too. I would want my dick sucked. (Source: vm.tiktok.com/boof)
but did you suck their dick?
Tbh I'm jealous, if I was an actor I would love to play the villain all the time
The bottom pic is not because of the Professor X news, that's Aaron Paul discovering Marvel casted him as Wolverine
"Yo' Mr. White. I have Adamantium claws, now." "Poor Caleb. He doesn't realize it's another fidelity test." "Should we tell him?" "Nah. We'll get back to him."
Normally, I’d be down for this exclusively for the monumental meltdown of a black ~~hispanic~~ man playing prof X, but he’s also a fantastic actor and I could genuinely see him playing a great prof x Edit: not hispanic
Giancarlo Esposito isn't hispanic, he's half italian.
We’ve been out jerked again!
At least he’s not playing a villain for a change.
I’d rather him than chris pratt
This is the End (2013)
Poor guy has been typecast quite heavily. Hopefully he gets a chance to play more diverse roles.
Obviously he should be Osborne for the waves.
~~Zaddy~~ Xaddy
Ever had gay thoughts? No? You Liar.
I wanna see this just to see nerds shit their pants over professor x being anything but a bald white guy
he would make a good xavier idgaf
He has to play in DUNE first. Only DUNE actors are allowed to ply Professor X
Jason Mamoa for Professor X, let's make it happen
Stellan Skarsgård as Baron Harkonnen as Professor X
Ngl I really like Giancarlo Esposito in pretty much every role he is
Imma just wait for the right wingers to complain about the “wokeness” of Marvel because they casted a black dude to play an originally white character
[удалено]
Least horny mcj user.
They decided that blackwashing a Jewish Holocaust survivor was a terrible decision and are considering making Professor X black instead. Sanity is not dead yet.
Magneto is a holocaust survivor, not Charles. He's some rich kid from England
Yes. Esposito, who is black, would be hypothetically playing a Professor X from the United States (or elsewhere, but odds are that a reimagining of him would give him an American origin).
Well that just happened
Why he look like Bill Cosby in that photo
But Professor X is a good guy?
he is good guy, but that doesn't mean he is *good* guy, he's admitted to having a crush on jean in some comics and that he thinks he deserves cyclops killing him in the avengers vs x-men thing iirc and that overall scott makes a better leader for mutants as a midpoint between his and magneto's views

Check out Night on Earth or Do the Right Thing. Giancarlo is good at playing quietly menacing sophisticated types but that's not *all* he's good at. Dude has range.
I'd rather he play Mister Sinister
Why cant a character just be the race they were created in. We have diversity in the comics. No need to invent it. If they cast storm as a white guy the internet would break
I thought he was gonna be mcu miles morales
Finally
