Patrick Stewart Agrees His Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Cameo Was Truly Awkward

Of all the weird moments and choices in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the Illuminati scene might be the one that most made us wonder “wait... what just happened?” Patrick Stewart, Professor X himself, brought the X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Sam Raimi’s 2022 sequel, but filming his cameo sounds like a “what just happened” situation all its own.

In a new interview with Happy Sad Confused host Josh Horowitz—which also covers his long theater career and Star Trek, among other topics—Stewart reflected on his experience “on set,” such as it was. First, though, he said that despite the gory events of Multiverse of Madness, and the character’s own track record for expiring on-screen, Professor X is “still around.” (He has “every confidence” in that fact!) When Horowitz asked Stewart if he’d be appearing with his old pal Hugh Jackman in Deadpool 3, the actor said, “it has come up, there’s been a process.
