According to The Hollywood Reporter, Giancarlo Esposito has officially been cast to play a villain in the Marvel Studios film, “Captain America: Brave New World.” Details about his character are being kept under wraps. Filming for the project originally wrapped in June 2023, in which Esposito was not involved.
