Marvel Studios is currently promoting the much-anticipated sequel to the well-known Doctor Strange movie with main lead Dr. Stephen Strange starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Not only that, but the film also features actors including some returning and new MCU characters like America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) and Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen).
With a multiverse concept, the movie Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness is also rumored to feature a variety of surprising characters. This includes the character of Professor X played by Patrick Stewart. Through the second Doctor Strange movie trailer, many fans thought they saw the first glimpse of what Patrick Stewart looked like as Professor X once again.
In the trailer, a mysterious figure is heard saying that it’s time for Doctor Strange to find out the truth. Marvel fans didn’t take long to recognize the voice as Stewart’s voice. Although it is rumored that Professor X is in the sequel to the movie Doctor Strange, neither Marvel Studios nor Patrick Stewart has confirmed any of his involvement in the movie.
During a recent interview with Ethan Alter of Yahoo, Stewart was asked about the mysterious voice in the Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness trailer. Ethan then asks if that was Patrick’s voice in the trailer. Patrick Stewart then calmly delivered two perfect quotes: “Who’s Doctor Strange?”
