Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has some fun cameos. Some are part of Marvel characters making their MCU debut, while others come from alternate versions of heroes we’ve met before.
One appearance that was heavily teased in his trailer was that of Professor Charles Xavier from Patrick Stewart. In the sequel, a mutant with telepathic abilities can be seen floating inside a glowing yellow shell that’s a not-so-subtle nod to X-Men: The Animated Series, and playing a theme song when he gets a big hit.
However, he does not necessarily take a two-dimensional interpretation. And now screenwriter Michael Waldron talked about “another version” of the X-Men leader introduced in the film and how he worked with Stewart to create a merger of previous iterations.
“He uses the lines he tells Steven in Days of Future Past. But we also drew from the classic cartoon version of this character.” He recently told Variety. “He’s a mutant with the traits of different versions of these guys from the multiverse.”
Stewart’s Xavier was the last to appear in Logan before Doctor Strange 2, and the character had a rather tragic ending. “If we hadn’t made Logan, I would have been willing to get back in that wheelchair and become Charles Xavier. But Logan changed everything.” Stewart said this in 2020 when he asked Digital Spy about the character’s on-screen future. Luckily, the concept of multiple universes allowed actors to think about their characters in a different way.
After the events of Doctor Strange in Spider-Man: No Way Home, a mad multiverse, Benedict Cumberbatch’s wizard tries to protect teenage American Chavez (Sochitl Gomez) while being chased by a ruthless foe who tries to steal her dimensional bouncing ability. Other major roles include Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong, and Elizabeth Olsen.

Doctor Strange 2 writer explains “different version” of Patrick Stewart’s Professor X
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness features a handful of fun cameos; some from Marvel characters making their MCU debut and others from alternate versions of heroes we’ve met before.
One appearance that was teased heavily in its trailers was that of Patrick Stewart’s Professor Charles Xavier. In the sequel, the telepathic mutant can be seen hovering around in a bright yellow pod, which is a not-so-subtle nod to X-Men: The Animated Series – and the theme tune plays when he makes his grand entrance.
He’s not strictly a take on the 2D interpretation, though. And now, screenwriter Michael Waldron has opened up about the “different version” of the X-Men leader presented in the film, and how he worked with Stewart to try and make him an amalgamation of previous iterations.
“He uses a line from Days of Future Past that he says to Stephen. But also, we drew from the classic cartoon version of that character,” he explained in a recent chat with Variety. “He’s a variant who has qualities of a bunch of different versions of those guys from across the multiverse.”
Prior to Doctor Strange 2, Stewart’s Xavier last appeared in Logan, and the character met a rather tragic end. “If we had not made Logan, then yes, I would probably be ready to get into that wheelchair one more time and be Charles Xavier. But, Logan changed all that,” Stewart told Digital Spy in 2020, when asked about the character’s future on screen. Fortunately, the concept of the multiverse allowed the actor to revisit the character in another way.
Following on from the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness sees Benedict Cumberbatch’s titular sorcerer try to protect teenager America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), as she’s pursued by a relentless enemy who’s keen to steal her dimension-hopping powers. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong, and Elizabeth Olsen also star.
