Patrick Stewart: Next ‘X-Men’ Film ‘Probably The End of This Franchise For Me’

Sir Patrick Stewart has been playing Professor Charles Xavier, The Artist Formerly Known as Professor X, for over 15 years, and over the course of five X-Men films. That is, by any metric, a long time, and a lot of films. The time may finally come for the 76-year-old to stop playing the bald English character, and live his own bald, English life.

Stewart is signed on to reprise the role in another freaking Wolverine film—which is untitled as of now, but will be released on March 3, 2017—but tells ITV (via ComingSoon) that he’s expecting this go-round to be his last with the Marvel franchise.
