Patrick Stewart Might Not Retire From Professor X After All Because of DEADPOOL
Last week Patrick Stewart announced that he would be retiring from playing Professor Xavier in the X-Men franchise because Logan was so damn good. The experience was so emotional for him that he said he "realized there will never be a better, a more perfect, a more sensitive, emotional, and beautiful way of saying au revoir to Charles Xavier than this movie."
Well, it looks like he might not be done with playing Professor X after all, and it's all thanks to Deadpool. Before Stewart announced his X-Men retirement, there was a video that teased the possibility that he could be involved with Deadpool 2.
The talk of appearing in Deadpool 2 could pull him out of his X-Men retirement. During a recent Facebook Live event with Jackman and MTV News correspondent Josh Horowitz, Stewart was asked if he was officially done with X-Men, and this was his reply:
"I would have said yes, but the discussion just now about Deadpool makes me think, 'Well, maybe there is a proper justification for the revival of Charles Xavier.'"
So, we can all thank Deadpool for making Stewart second guess his retirement as Professor X. I could totally see this whole thing of Stewart retiring from the X-Men movie franchise being worked into the Deadpool 2 script!
I hope Stewart is teasing again that he'll be in Deadpool 2 because that would be amazing if he actually shows up in the sequel!
