Patrick Stewart isn't planning on retiring from acting any time soon.
A rumor hit the internet that Stewart would be retiring from acting after his role in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, but, luckily, in a recent interview, the actor spoke about where he saw his career going next.
"As any actor my age will tell you, there are fewer and fewer available roles as we get older," Stewart told TV Insider, when asked about retirement. "That being said, I still continue to receive interesting offers and I love being challenged by new work, like voicing a pig's head in Riz Ahmed's brilliant new series Bait. I can't imagine ever officially 'retiring.' I'll always and forever be an actor."
Stewart will once again play Professor Charles Xavier in Doomsday, returning opposite Ian McKellen's Magneto.
One of the first trailers for the film features Professor X and Magneto playing chess together, before Cyclops drops to his knees in anguish and unleashes his powers.
But, one person who won't be returning is Famke Janssen's Jean Grey. "I think they made a mistake, but hey, who am I? I'm just a little me who thinks that," Janssen has said of not making a comeback.
Robert Downey Jr., meanwhile, returns to the MCU, too – except he's playing Doctor Doom, not Iron Man.
"There's something going on in Doomsday and forward that is literally the only antidote to, 'How do you not have these films be let down after an Infinity War and an Endgame?' And boy, have we labored long and hard to bring that down," he has teased of the movie.
Doomsday arrives this December 18. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows for everything else the MCU has in store.
