Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen have played two of the most iconic characters in the MCU, Professor X, and Magneto. The decorated actors were part of theX-Menseries released in the 2000s, and even to this date, it is one of the most loved series, featuring our favorite characters from the comics such as Storm, Mystique, Wolverine, Rogue, Beast, and many more.
Even though Patrick Stewart reprised his role as Professor X inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,the actor teased the MCU fans that this was not the last time they’re watching Professor X. And that his good friend, Ian McKellen would also return to reprise the role of Magneto.

What was Patrick Stewart’s Hint to the Audience?
In an interview with ET Online, theX-Menactor commented on whether fans can see more of Professor X in future MCU movies. The actor said that he would borrow the wheelchair of Charles Xavier as standing up seems to be quite problematic if he has to do more standing forStar Trek.
“Charles Xavier? Well, I am looking to borrow his wheelchair if we’re to do much more Star Trek, or standing up is becoming a bit of a problem.”
Patrick Stewart did not confirm if he’d be returning to the MCU to reprise his role, but the 82-year-old actor stated,“[he] can’t say about what Charles’ future might possibly hold.”
He continued saying that if he reprised his role as Charles Xavier, then his good friend Ian McKellen would not be far behind to return to the MCU to reprise his role as Erik Lehnsherr, popularly known as Magneto.
“Actually, it went very well. He did say something like [‘Hey, I would’ve done this!’], yes that’s true. But we’re not done, Sir Ian and myself. We’re… we got plans.”
There is a high possibility that we might seePatrick Stewartin the role of Professor X inDeadpool 3.Theactor teased in an earlier interview that he’s“been told to stand by.”And possibly make a jaw-dropping cameo in the upcoming film starring Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds.

When Can We See More of Magneto?
It has been rumored that Ian McKellen’s Magneto had a cameo inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but for some reason, the director of the film felt the metal-manipulating villain does not fit well with the story of Dr. Stephen Strange, and hence the scene was removed.
However, there are rumors circulating around the internet that states that Magneto may make a cameo inDeadpool 3as Hugh Jackman confirmed that the film takes place before the death of Charles Xavier and Logan.
“I did tell him that it took place before our movie, so it wasn’t going to screw it up, like claws coming out of the grave. So, he was relieved by that, and he totally got it, that it was a really good idea.”
If Ian McKellen doesn’t make an appearance in the third sequel, there’s a possibility that he might appear in theAvengers: Secret Wars, as we’ve seen inAvengers: Endgamethat there are a lot of cameos without affecting the story of the movie. However, fans have to wait as the film would release on 1st May 2026.
