Patrick Stewart’s last outing as Professor X…

Patrick Stewart: The man, the myth, the legend will be a great loss to the X-Men franchise.

With the subtle tones of Freddy Mercury singing in the background, “Another one bites the dust,” and the curtains rising on the last show, it looks like Hugh Jackman isn’t the only one retiring from the X-Men franchise after Logan. After teasing that he might be in Deadpool 2, Patrick Stewart has announced that Logan will be the last time we see him in the role of Professor X. That’s a very sad piece of news to start the weekend off with!

Stewart has said a few times that he wasn’t really done with playing Xavier yet, but he felt that Logan was so good and so powerful that it changed his mind. The movie was so good, it made him not want to reprise the role again.

When Culturedemandsgeeks saw the news, we knew we would be losing a great actor in the X-Men franchise and it seems like Logan is going to be the ultimate X-Men film that will put all others to shame.

Like with Hugh Jackman, at least Stewart is ending his time in the X-Men franchise on top, with a great movie. Stewart is definitely going to be missed in the role, but he sure did have an awesome run as Professor Xavier! He was always one of the best parts of the franchise, giving his fierce array of talents. Sad to see Stewart leave the iconic role? Who would play the balding Professor if they ever remade the franchise (and I’m sure they will 10 or 20 years down the line!)
