Fans are gearing up for another major Avengers Saga, in the form of the two films Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

These two movies will be as monumental as Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, in which we got to see our MCU heroes unite for a great cause and engage in a battle of epic proportions.

We can speculate as to who may be new to the group, knowing we will most definitely see the new Fantastic 4 crew, as well as Deadpool and Wolverine, and maybe some of their friends. But a new rumor teases another iconic X-Men character that we may be able to count on as well.

This may not be true, but if it is, consider this your Spoiler Alert.

According to vetted industry scooper MTTSH (via CBM), Sir Patrick Stewart will reprise his role as the original big-screen Professor Charles Xavier.

Stewart already made his MCU debut for a brief appearance as Professor X in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but that variant of the mutant leader to an abrupt and somewhat distasteful end at the hands of the Scarlet Witch. We thought that would be the last we saw of the Star Trek legend in this role, but it seems he has at least one more superhero movie in him.

Secret Wars plot details are still a mystery, but there have been plenty of rumors doing the rounds. One thing we do know for sure is that Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom will play a big part in the story after making his debut in Doomsday.

Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters on May 1, 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on May 7, 2027. Both films will be directed by the Russo brothers, who also make their MCU return after helming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

Are you excited to see the X-Men make their MCU debut?
