Patrick Stewart Is Down for More X-MEN Films
At 76, Patrick Stewart has nothing left to prove. He's already secured status as a science fiction icon and apparently drank from the fountain of youth because he does not look his age! Yet Comicbook reports the actor still wants to play Charles Xavier in X-Men films if they'll have him. His exact words were the following:
“Hugh has raised the flag that says goodbye. I haven’t done that yet."
If Stewart still wants to be in the films, I say let him! While James McAvoy has proven to be a worthy Charles Xavier, I wouldn't mind seeing the man who originally owned the role play it a few more times! I mean, who better than the man who literally looks like the comic book character? You're cool with Stewart hanging on for more Marvel movies, right?
