‘Breaking Bad’ star Giancarlo Esposito once considered planning his own murder so his kids could inherit the insurance money

We’re getting our first look at Francis Ford Coppola‘s highly-anticipated new movie!

McKinley Franklin editor Adam Driver is on the edge in the first official teaser for Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis.” “Megalopolis,” which will premiere in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, has been a project years in the making for the director, who first began work on the screenplay in the 1980s. The legendary filmmaker behind “The Godfather” and “Apocalypse Now” has invested $120 million of his own money into the film.

Sometimes the fan campaigning really works, though in this case, the fan is actor Giancarlo Esposito, known for his roles in “Breaking Bad,” and “The Mandalorian.” In the last year or more, Esposito has made it no secret that he’s been eager to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, seemingly talking it up every chance he gets and telling audiences. Previously, the actor revealed he had met with Marvel Studios and said he was keen to play a new version of Professor X in the “X-Men” movies.
