Patrick Stewart would consider playing Professor X in a Deadpool movie
Patrick Stewart’s retirement from X-Men movies hasn’t even started, but he’s already teasing that he’d return to the role of Professor X for a Deadpool movie. It’s not that he’s really desperate for a chance to show off his comedy chops outside of American Dad, though, he just seems to think that Ryan Reynolds’ tongue-in-cheek approach to superhero movies would be a good way to “justify” bringing Xavier back. This comes from an interview that Stewart and his Logan co-star Hugh Jackman did with MTV, and while it’s far from being any kind of actual confirmation, it does suggest that Stewart’s decision to retire is less about being tired of the character than it is about him simply believing that Logan is the perfect place to wrap things up.
