Don’t worry this was just a joke. A real photo of Giancarlo Esposito’s stunt double was captured while they were filming a scene.
The caption does claim that the picture shows Esposito, but we are pretty sure that he is just a stunt double for the actor. Instead of the classic costumes of Paul Wilson or Lucas Cross, Esposito’s stunt double is wearing an athletic fit. This could signify that the actor is portraying an unknown character who is an assassin on the hunt for Sam Wilson!
