The Professor X/Charles Xavier Thread

[Iceman]

After being killed in Multiverse in Madness, i wonder if they'd bring back another Xavier variant that is played by Sir Patrick Stewart? It would be a miss opportunity if they don't include him in Avengers: Secret Wars - if plenty of pre Mcu Marvel actors are back.

I’d be fine with that, although maybe give this version a different personality.

I wouldn't mind an Evil Professor X.

You mean in Secret Wars or ongoing MCU after that?

Avengers: Secret Wars, though just a variant.

Avengers: Secret Wars, though just a variant.

Oh yeah, they can go wild with whatever a variant does (shame SW in MoM wasn’t a variant lol). Would be fun to see.

Patrick Stewart Addresses Rumors of Charles Xavier Being in Avengers: Secret Wars - Comic Book Movies and Superhero Movie News - SuperHeroHype

Patrick Stewart says there's a "possibility" that he might show up as Charles Xavier in Marvel Studios' Avengers: Secret Wars.

I'd like to see Sir Patrick Stewart in Secret Wars, but he will turn 86 by 2026. So I hope he's healthy and strong enough to be able to film scenes for that movie.

If not Patrick Stewart, then Ralph Fiennes as Professor Charles Xavier

 

[psylockolussus]

I could see him as the Professor.

I wouldn't mind an Evil Professor X.

Isn't that what Legion and Onslaught are?

 

[Tg11]

Ralph Fiennes or Daniel Craig are my picks for Xavier. All you have to do is have either one of them shave their heads bald 👨‍🦲 and they look perfect for Xavier.

 

[psylockolussus]

Being bald is part of the Professor's visual identity. 🧑‍🦲

 

[ALittlePush]

I think Colin Salmon could make a good Xavier

If they race change Xavier, then I wouldn't mind this guy as a potential Xavier but the character has always been British/English more or less so

Colin Salmon is English.

 

[Sebastos]

Fiennes as Professor Xavier is a good call, a casting that pretty much writes itself.

 

[Da-Scribe]

Would prefer to see Xavier as an affluent New Yorker this go round. Been really feeling Rami Malek as an option.

@Black Narcissus said NO!

If MCU doesn’t try to get McAvoy back, then I’m pulling for Ewan McGregor

 

[AndrewGilkison]

My pick.

 

[BobJM]

Fiennes would definitely do well with the role but I think I like him better for Magneto—but Richard Armitage is still top pick there

 

[aNarcHy2day]

Fiennes is definitely my favourite pick for Xavier. Him and Jason Issacs as Magneto is as perfect a casting duo as the last two Xavier/Magneto live action pairs with the only thing going against them being their age.

If going a little younger, Ewan McGregor and Jonny Lee Miller are the people at the top of my list against an Adrien Brody Magneto.

 

[psylockolussus]

Ralph Fiennes and Jason Isaacs as the Professor and Magneto would be good. They look the part. Both are terrific actors as well.
