50 Greatest Performances In Marvel Movies

47. Patrick Stewart - Professor X

Patrick Stewart has been the definitive and older version of Professor Charles Xavier since the year 2000 and has portrayed the character in no less than six movies - albeit in very small roles in three of them.

He is the X-Men's leader and conveys the required leadership skills, authority, calming influence and, when required, aggression that is expected of both the character and an actor of Stewart's ilk.
