Charles Xavier
On the other hand, if I was Kevin Feige, I would want to give Ewan McGregor a much bigger part in Marvel Studios’ eventual X-Men reboot, if not the biggest part there is (outside of, say, Wolverine). In fact, the founder of the team of mutant defenders, Charles Xavier (otherwise known as Professor X), has a great deal in common with one of my favorite of McGregor’s more recent roles: Danny Torrance in Mike Flanagan’s masterful Stephen King adaptation (and sequel to The Shining), Doctor Sleep, from 2019. Therefore, the actor already has the proper experience playing a psychokinetic being (and the natural accent) necessary to be a worthy successor to Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy for the latest incarnation of one of Marvel’s most respected and inspirational figures.
