Guess who might be making a comeback as Professor X in Deadpool 3? That’s right, none other than the legendary Patrick Stewart! The man himself teased that he could reprise his role as the iconic character in the upcoming Deadpool movie, which would make it his ninth time playing Professor X. Talk about commitment!
After his surprise appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, fans have been eagerly awaiting more of Stewart as Professor X. And it seems like their wishes might just come true. In an interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Stewart dropped the bombshell that the possibility of him playing the character in Deadpool 3 has been brought up. However, he did mention that the past few years have been tough with labor problems, health issues, and of course, the dreaded Covid. It’s been a rollercoaster ride for the 83-year-old, but we’re still keeping our fingers crossed for his return.
But the road to that epic cameo in Doctor Strange was no walk in the park either. Stewart revealed that shooting the scene was a lonely affair, with each leading actor having to film their parts separately. It was a frustrating and disappointing experience for him, as it was for the others. Talk about a challenging few years, right?
With Stewart’s potential return as Professor X, fans are definitely in for a treat. I mean, who wouldn’t want to see him back in action, even if it’s just for a cameo? And with Hugh Jackman’s return as Wolverine, it would be a reunion worth celebrating. Plus, it could serve as a fitting farewell to Stewart’s portrayal of the character, if he decides to hang up his telepathic hat for good.
If you’re wondering whether we’ll actually see Stewart don the wheelchair again, well, the answer is still up in the air. But one thing’s for sure – some other Marvel characters are set to make an appearance in Deadpool 3, so there’s definitely some excitement in the air. And if Stewart does end up reprising his role, we can only hope that Ryan Reynolds will leak a set photo confirming the news. After all, it wouldn’t be a Deadpool movie without a bit of cheeky marketing, right?
Get ready, because Deadpool 3 is set to hit theaters on July 26th as part of the MCU’s Phase Five. It’s going to be one heck of a ride, and we can’t wait to see if Stewart will be joining the fun.
So, do you want to see Patrick Stewart return as Professor X in Deadpool 3? And while we’re at it, what do you think was his best outing as the character? Let us know, and let the speculation begin!
