Patrick
Stewart's
appearance
in
the
upcoming
Marvel
film
Doctor
Strange
in
the
Multiverse
of
Madness
has
confirmed
several
speculations
about
MCU.
Not
only
will
the
film
bring
back
Patrick's
character
Professor
X
aka
Charles
Xavier,
but
will
officially
merge
MCU
and
X-Men
franchise.
Fans
are
not
speculating
if
Charles
will
be
returning
for
a
cameo
or
will
be
seen
again
for
a
longer
run.
Reports
have
also
claimed
that
there
are
other
theories
saying
Professor
X
dies
to
pave
way
for
new
X-Men's
collaboration
with
the
MCU.
The
veteran
actor
himself
opened
up
about
the
rumours
in
an
interview
and
said
that
his
character
has
died
twice
already.
Notably,
Professor
X
was
killed
in
X-Men:
The
Last
Stand
(2006)
and
his
final
appearance
was
seen
in
Logan
(2017).
Speaking
to
Rolling
Stone,
Patrick
said,
"This
is
a
very
delicate
area...
All
I
can
say
to
you
is
we'll
have
to
see.
But
bear
in
mind
that
Professor
Xavier
has
already
died
twice.
I
think
he
must
have
some
sort
of
Superman
quality."
While
Patrick
wasn't
seen
in
the
recent
trailer
of
Multiverse
of
Madness,
his
voice
was
heard
advising
Doctor
Strange.
Initially,
Patrick
had
denied
his
appearance
in
the
film,
finally
admitting
to
it
in
a
recent
interaction.
Talking
about
his
initial
denial
he
told
Jake
Hamilton
that's
how
his
character
is.
He
said,
"Professor
X
would
be
extraordinarily
cautious
and
watchful,
and
perhaps
feel
a
little
insecure
because
there
is
something
that
is
potentially
dangerous
about
this
man.
I
think
that
would
put
Professor
Xavier
on
guard."
Doctor
Strange
in
the
Multiverse
of
Madness
has
been
described
as
Marvel's
first
horror
film
by
director
Sam
Raimi.
As
part
of
Phase
4
of
MCU
and
will
release
in
theatres
on
May
6,
2022.
The
film
led
by
Benedict
Cumberbatch
also
stars
Benedict
Wong,
Rachel
McAdams,
Chiwetel
Ejiofor,
and
Xochitl
Gomez.
