Current Events > I haven't seen the latest Doctor Strange, but *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

...I wonder if it confirms that when the X-Men are brought to the MCU, it means that we're getting old Xavier and Magneto again.

I know of the whole "variant" thing, and it might not be the case, but I prefer the two characters being a bit younger, tbh, and want to see more of that, like with McAvoy and Fassbender.

Pretty sure Xavier's cameo was just to confirm the X-Men are indeed MCU.

I think I remember Patrick Stewart say he was getting too old to act anymore.

I'm pretty certain they'll just recast all of the X-Men.

The only thing I'm certain of is the guy playing Reed Richards will be the same in the Fantastic Four MCU film.

Kinda neat how we had to see Xavier get brutally murdered two movies in a row.

I don't necessarily think that either Stewart or McKellen are reprising their roles in any meaningful way, but I was wondering if Stewart being a cameo set the precedent for an older Xavier for the franchise.

Xavier is easier to change his age for the MCU, but Magneto being a Holocaust survivor is a big part of his character, so it will be interesting to see how they handle that. In the comics, Marvel de-aged them to look younger.

.

I think they can also have him appear in a past storyline (sometime during the 90s), and when a younger version shows up, it could be good clone.

and through some comic book magic, his soul will eventually be put into his clone's body
