The character, also known as Charles Xavier, is (most of the time) the leader of the X-Men. Xavier has been played in two previous iterations of the franchise by Sir Patrick Stewart (“Star Trek Next Generation”) and James McAvoy (“Penelope”). Stewart’s Professor X (and, by extension, McAvoy’s younger version of him) is considered canon in the multiverse of the MCU as he reprised the role for a cameo in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” Rumors indicate he is being considered for Professor X or Magneto for a new “X-Men” project, or Doctor Doom for “Fantastic 4.” Esposito said that he wanted to “put it out in the universe” to be Professor X.
