As the Marvel Cinematic Universe marches on, there will always be the need for more actors to fill some of the superhero universe's iconic roles.

The "Breaking Bad" and "Mandalorian" star revealed that he's already been in talks with the studio and even tried to manifest the role he'd most want to take on -- and it's certainly an unexpected one.

who happened to be a friend of George Lucas that George Lucas put into his stories," he told a fan during a question-and-answer session.

As for what Marvel role he would take on, Esposito randomly threw out a DC Universe character in "Dr." Freeze -- better and more accurately known as Mr.

Freeze -- but otherwise mentioned Marvel's own not-so-good doctor, Dr. Doom and even Magneto (that would take a pretty major origin retcon, though).

But it is in the Master of Magnetism's X-Men universe, that it appears the actor would most like to play.
