The "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" Cast Brings Together MCU Favorites and New Faces

Technically, Patrick Stewart's role in "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" is undisclosed. But Stewart played Charles Xavier, leader of the X-Men, in the Fox X-Men franchise for years, and Disney's 2019 acquisition of Fox opened the door to merge the two universes. Evan Peters kind of started the process on "WandaVision," but featuring Professor X here would throw the gates wide open.

In a new trailer, a shot of a yellow wheelchair, similar to the one Professor X used in the X-Men cartoons, seemed to confirm that Stewart will definitely be playing his old role.
