Marvel Studios has unveiled a new look at the late Patrick Stewart‘s final film performance, reprising his iconic X-Men role as Professor Charles Xavier in Avengers: Doomsday.
“All of us at Marvel Studios are deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart,” a Marvel Studios Instagram post read on Thursday, October 29. “Sir Patrick brought Professor Charles Xavier to life with extraordinary grace, intelligence, and humanity, defining the character for generations of fans, from X-Men to Logan to Avengers: Doomsday.”
The studio’s statement read, “He was a singular talent, a generous collaborator, and a true gentleman. Our hearts go out to his wife Sunny, his children, his friends, and the countless fans around the world whose lives he touched with his art.”
Marvel shared a sneak peek of Stewart’s final film appearance in Avengers: Doomsday, with a still photo showing a smiling Professor X inside what appears to be a dimly lit X-Mansion.

In one of his final interviews, Stewart opened up to TV Insider about why he decided to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe more than 25 years after he first played Charles Xavier in 2000’s X-Men.
“As any actor my age will tell you, there are fewer and fewer available roles as we get older,” he explained in July. “That being said, I still continue to receive interesting offers and I love being challenged by new work. I can’t imagine ever officially retiring. … I’ll always and forever be an actor.”
Doomsday reunites Stewart with longtime pal and collaborator Ian McKellen as their X-Men characters, Professor X and Magneto, respectively, join forces one final time.
McKellen was one of Stewart’s many friends and colleagues to honor his contributions to the craft of acting after news broke on Thursday that he’d died at age 86 following a brief battle with Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy body dementia.

“Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end,” McKellen, 87, wrote via Instagram. “You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.”
McKellen recalled meeting Stewart when they were both “ambitious young actors” in the Royal Shakespeare Company “a half a century ago” — and maintaining a close friendship as their careers skyrocketed.
“America was his adopted home, where he met his adored [third wife, Sunny Ozell] who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire,” McKellen added. “His farewell performance in Avengers: Doomsday is yet to be seen.”
Shortly after Stewart’s longtime representative, Kelly Bush Novak, confirmed that the legendary actor died at his Los Angeles home on Wednesday, October 28, Marvel Studios hailed him as a “generational talent.”
