In the trailer, Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) is walked into a large room by Ultron-esque robots, which presided over by some kind of council. When he enters, he looks up at a mysterious person, who is only shown from behind. It’s only a tiny portion of this person’s body that we’re shown, but they definitely have a bald head. It’s the voice that has everyone thinking Professor X is finally confirmed to appear in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.”
“We should tell him the truth,” the voice says as they look down at Stephen. The tone is unmistakable, and it looks like Patrick Stewart will be reprising his role as Charles Xavier — a character he began portraying in 2000’s “X-Men.” This would also confirm mutants are now officially part of the cinematic universe, and hopefully, more appear in the second “Doctor Strange” film. For now, Stewart has not commented on his involvement, but this trailer almost certainly does for him.
“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” lands in theaters on May 6.
