The X-Men comics feature many different stories and teams working together to protect the world from various threats. However, after decades of publication, issues that bring the franchise’s continuity into question are almost guaranteed to crop up. The same applies to the X-Men films released from 2000 to 2020, especially with one particular scene from 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand.In the film, Professor X (played by Patrick Stewart) is forced to face his gravest mistake in the form of Jean Grey (played by Famke Janssen) and her transformation into the Dark Phoenix. After years of keeping Jean’s insurmountable psychic power at bay, they manifested as a dark personality that mirrored her counterpart in the comics. However, one massive difference between the two occurs halfway through The Last Stand: Jean kills the Professor in her childhood home. Audiences thought this spelled the end for Professor X, but his story didn’t finish there.When X-Men debuted in 2000, superhero films were not the sure things they are today, even with modern Marvel box office troubles. If a movie was successful enough to turn into a blockbuster film franchise, the characters were usually limited to a trilogy. This was both because successful actors usually wanted to move on to different work. Some actors who played a role for too long in the industry’s eyes were not offered film roles. In his memoir, Making It So, Stewart revealed he’d had casting directors telling him they didn’t “want Captain Picard” in their film. While these movies were rewarding for him professionally and personally, he likely wasn’t against being killed off dramatically. The post-credits scene made it possible that this version of Xavier could continue.
