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.

 

[Lily Adler]

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!

X-Men’s James McAvoy on Whether Charles Xavier Will Be Recast in MCU - Comic Book Movies and Superhero Movie News - SuperHeroHype

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.

1. X-Men (2000)
2. X2 (2003)
3. Last Stand (2006)
4. Origins Wolverine (2009, cameo)
5. The Wolverine (2013, cameo)
6. Days of Future Past (2014)
7. Logan (2017)
8. Multiverse of Madness (2022)
9. Doomsday (2026)

I'm amazed how Sir Patrick Stewart keeps returning to this role despite being killed three times in the movies already!!! What a run, and he is probably in Secret Wars too!
