The incomparable Patrick Stewart, who played Professor Xavier in the X-Men films and returned to the role this year for Avengers: Doomsday, passed away this Thursday. This film will mark the debut of the main version of his character in the MCU after a variant appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
In tribute to Stewart, Marvel Studios released the following statement:
Marvel Studios is heartbroken to learn of the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart, the legendary English actor who brought Professor Charles Xavier to life. He was 86.
Stewart made his debut as Professor X in 2000’s X-Men, where he embodied the composure, class, and wisdom of the beloved telepathic mutant and mentor of the X-Men. For more than 25 years, he brought a gravitas and profundity to the role, earning fans across the globe and helping to transform Super Hero storytelling forever.
He reprised the role in multiple X-Men films, culminating with an unforgettable performance in 2017’s Logan. In 2022, Stewart joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as an alternate-universe Professor X in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. He returned to the role once more with 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday, his final on-screen appearance.
