Patrick Stewart's Final Movie Is a Surprisingly Perfect Sendoff For His Greatest Role

Patrick Stewart's Professor X was never going to get the send-off he deserved.

Stewart's death was announced on Oct. 29, and the outpouring of grief was immediate among fans of his work across Marvel, Star Trek, Shakespeare, and his iconic Extras episode. When a famous actor dies, especially one who's still actively working like Stewart was, it's only natural to wonder what projects they had already filmed that will now release posthumously. In Stewart's case, there appears to only be one — Avengers: Doomsday.

The upcoming Marvel movie event, which will combine actors and characters from the MCU and the Fox franchises in a multiversal battle against the storied supervillain Doctor Doom, is set to release this December. The marketing for Doomsday so far has leaned heavily into Stewart and the other returning X-Men characters, including Ian McKellen's Magneto. It's unclear how much of a role they'll actually play in the movie, though I have a hunch Doom may kill off most of the X-Men early on to prove a point.

This won't be the first time Stewart's Professor X has met his maker onscreen for the benefit of X-Men fans, but it's sure to be the most emotional.

After two perfect X-Men movies (fight me in the comments, I'm feeling emotional) released in the early 2000s, Charles Xavier met a bizarre end — vaporized by Jean Grey/Phoenix, only to rematerialize in the body of his twin brother — in the bizarre movie X-Men: The Last Stand.
