“I have every confidence he’s still around,” adding that conversations about him returning for Deadpool 3 “have come up, there’s been a process.”
“The last two-three years have been so difficult with the labor problems and the health problems, you know.”
Regardless of if Professor X does return in Deadpool 3 or not, Stewart is hopeful the character will continue to exist in the MCU despite having died multiple times across various films. Also hinting at the potential return of Ian McKellen as Magneto.
