This returning X-Men original cast member will have fans applauding in Deadpool & Wolverine

BBG News

As a long-time Marvel fan, I’m thrilled to see Deadpool and Wolverine teaming up on the big screen, and the addition of Sir Patrick Stewart reprising his iconic role as Professor X is the cherry on top! His presence alone is enough to get me excited, especially considering his past roles in the X-Men films.

The upcoming Deadpool and Wolverine film is set to make a grand entrance on the big screen, potentially breaking new ground for the MCU and Disney. This marks a unique milestone in Disney’s picture gallery and the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s R-rated films. An unexpected appearance by a cast member could send fans into an excited frenzy.

In a remarkable turn of events, the esteemed and iconic actor Patrick Stewart will once again embody the character of Professor Charles Xavier, also known as Professor X.

In all the original X-Men films, Stewart portrayed his character and made cameos in prequels depicting how he ended up in a wheelchair. Now, he is set to reprise this role in the third installment. Stewart has a history with the Marvel Cinematic Universe; in 2022’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” his character met their demise at the hands of Scarlett Witch in an alternate reality.

Prior to their release, tickets for the upcoming Marvel film have experienced strong sales, fueling optimism that it could revive the dwindling box office performance of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) following the conclusion of “The Avengers” saga. Disney has invested heavily in the MCU, but since then, no movie has managed to break box office records and several have bombed badly.

Lately, there’s been an issue with excessive character-focused films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), which aren’t always necessary and fail to deliver engaging storylines. These stories lack cohesion and a clear, formidable antagonist that requires more than a few superheroes to defeat. The early MCU entries, on the other hand, were well-aligned with each other, contributing to a compelling overarching narrative.

One issue is that the movies alone may not be sufficient to maintain the interest of less devoted viewers anymore. Many newer films contain significant references to Disney Plus series, which can be crucial for recognizing certain character developments. However, this means investing additional time in watching these shows, which might be more than some fans are willing to commit.

If the rumors hold true, Deadpool and Wolverine could bring new vitality to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
